FASD supports lacking in school system say advocates
It's often called
the invisible disability, but according to Health Canada an estimated
one in 100 babies are born with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
(FASD). Many of those who live with FASD suffer from, among other
things, depression, have learning disabilities and sometimes have
difficulty understanding the consequences of their actions.

Figuring Out How Alcohol Does Its Dirty Work
In the case of
FASD, the tip of the iceberg are the physical and growth anomalies
that can be readily diagnosed. In contrast, many more children who
are on the FASD spectrum, but do not have physical abnormalities, may
have severe neurological deficits that remain hidden.
