Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are lifelong physical, developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.  According to the CDC, FASD impacts as many as 1 in 20 in the US – 2.5x more than autism.  Of the over 80,800 babies born annually in Indiana, almost 4,000 are estimated to have a FASD.  Check out the helpful links below for more information and resources.
