FASDs: Online Trainings and Resources | Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has developed a comprehensive, web-based FASD toolkit. The toolkit has resources for pediatricians to raise awareness, promote developmental surveillance and screening, and ensure that all children living with FASDs and their families receive appropriate and timely care. This comprehensive toolkit serves as a framework for the management of a child with an FASD in the medical home (a term that describes patient-centered, team-based health care led by a healthcare provider). The toolkit includes information on identification, diagnosis, referral, patient management resources, practice management tools, frequently asked questions for providers and families, and resources for in-depth training.

Additionally, AAP offers resources to help pediatricians and other healthcare providers incorporate screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment into their practices to reduce, delay, prevent, or stop adolescent substance use.
