| Description | Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) results from brain injury associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and comprises pervasive, permanent neurodevelopmental differences which impact health, educational, and vocational outcomes. Social workers have important roles in preventing PAE and supporting individuals with FASD at all life stages. An interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis, prevention, earlier intervention, and systems navigation that includes social workers helps optimize opportunities and mitigate secondary adverse outcomes for individuals affected by FASD. Interprofessional practice enables social workers to apply their knowledge and skills to recognize functional challenges, develop relationships, and empower individuals, families, and communities impacted by FASD.
