To diagnose a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) health professionals need to know about:

  • things the child does
  • the story of their life.

These facts sheets help families get ready to talk to health professionals. There is:

  • a checklist that has questions the might ask
  • a form that asks for medical history and things you have seen your child do
  • fact sheets about some symptoms of FASD.

You can use the fact sheets to learn about FASD. You can use the checklist and form to help doctors understand your child.
