The Importance of Screening for FASD

November 15, 2023 @ 12:00 pm2:00 pm UTC+0

This webinar will help attendees to better understand the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure and its impact on behavior. We will talk about the importance of asking more questions specifically about prenatal alcohol exposure and how NOT asking the alcohol can impact the trajectory of treatment and support for an individual. The training will explore our own biases with talking about alcohol and ways to more effectively get
important information about prenatal alcohol exposure. The Florida Center for Early Childhood operates the only FASD Diagnostic Clinics in the State of Florida!
