FASD definition

July 22, 2025July 22, 2025 nwfasd

In order to promote a common language about FASD and to minimize misinterpretation of key issues, CanFASD has developed a standard definition of FASD. Standard definitions are needed to ensure consistency in administrative, clinical, and research operations.
The Canada FASD Research Network recommends using the following definition when writing FASD policy, developing supports, and providing services for individuals with FASD across Canada to promote accurate and consistent language when referring to FASD:
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic t erm used to describe impacts on the brain and body of
individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol.
FASD is a lifelong disability. Individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily
living, and need support with motor skills, physical h ealth, learning, memory, attention, communication,
emotional regulation, and social skills to reach their full potential.
Each individual with FASD is unique and ha s areas of both strengths and challenges.
