FASD and its Effects II Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifetime disability with subtle and profound effects to the CNS and other systems. It is 100% preventable if a woman does not drink alcohol during pregnancy. Module 2 provides assessment, diagnosis, referral, and resource information for those prenatally exposed to alcohol. This enduring continuing medical education activity will provide physicians with accurate and current information about FASD. The unique multi-media format of this activity allows physicians and mid level practitioners to access the information and acquire the education credit requirements at their own convenience.

- Describe interventions and resources that are available for those affected with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
