The Challenge of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Overcoming Secondary Disabilities

Proceedings from the International FAS Conference in Seattle

September 4-6, 1996

Edited by Ann Streissguth and Jonathan Kanter

In the first book of its kind, experts describe how to help people with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. A summary of recent findings and recommendations is presented by the team who conducted the largest study ever done on people of all ages with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects. Twenty-two experts, conference presenters from the fields of human services, education, and criminal justice, respond by describing their solutions to this problem of a birth defect that targets the brain and has lifelong consequences.

This book acknowledges the diverse and multifaceted needs of people with FAS/FAE across the lifespan. It will be valuable for parents and the many professionals working with people with FAS/FAE.

Ann Streissguth is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine. An international expert and pioneer in research on fetal alcohol syndrome, she has worked for more than 20 years with FAS patients. Jonathan Kanter is a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the University of Washington who has served as a research consultant and patient advocate for FAS patients.
