Appendix– CNS Abnormalities Associated with FAS
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5411a2.htm
This report summarizes the diagnostic guidelines drafted by the scientific
working group, provides recommendations for when and how to refer a person
suspected of having problems related to prenatal alcohol exposure, and
assesses existing practices for creating supportive environments that might
prevent long-term adverse consequences associated with FAS. The guidelines
were created on the basis of a review of scientific evidence, clinical
expertise, and the experiences of families affected by FAS regarding the
physical and neuropsychologic features of FAS and the medical, educational,
and social services needed by persons with FAS and their families. The
guidelines are intended to facilitate early identification of persons
affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol so they and their families can
receive services that enable them to achieve healthy lives and reach their
full potential. This report also includes recommendations to enhance
identification of and intervention for women at risk for alcohol-exposed
pregnancies.
