Training & Education Improvements in FASD prevention,
identification and care can be enhanced through systematic
efforts to educate medical and allied health students and
practitioners about these issues. Such efforts will contribute
toward the goals of better alcohol screening and care for women
at risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy and identification,
diagnosis, and referral to treatment for individuals with
prenatal alcohol exposure. Parents, caregivers, school staff,
and others who are with children with FASDs every day can
benefit from learning more about FASDs, how they affect the
child, strategies for working with the child to best enable him
or her to meet his or her full potential, and how to locate

who care for and work with individuals living with FASDs. CDC
supports the following education activities: Enhanced Resources
