I share that the prevalence of FASD in the U.S. is estimated to be between 1 in 100 to 1 in 20 children, with a notably higher rate of 25% among those in out-of-home care. It's crucial to recognize that even without facial features associated with FASD, brain effects can still occur. I encourage viewers to be aware of the signs and symptoms of FASD, as early identification and appropriate interventions can greatly improve outcomes for affected children. Please consider this information when working with children who may be at risk for FASD.
