Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a pattern of birth defects, learning, and behavioral problems affecting individuals whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. It is the most severe of a range of disorders represented by the term fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). It is caused by exposure of a developing fetus to alcohol.There is no cure for FAS. The disorder is irreversible. Nothing can change the physical features or brain damage associated with maternal alcohol use during the pregnancy. Children should have psychoeducational evaluation to help plan appropriate educational interventions. This research project enhanced my understanding of Fetal alcohol syndrome and how it significantly affects the human growth.
