About this service
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a term that describes the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioural, and learning disabilities with lifelong implications.
FASD is a 'spectrum disorder', which means that it shows up differently in each person. In many cases, you wouldn't know that someone has FASD - their particular effects may be behavioural and not physical. In Canada, one child in every 100 births is born with FASD.
Women concerned about the risk of FASD to their babies can call Motherisk at 1-877-327-4636 to speak with an expert about their particular circumstances.
