This course is designed to help students situate their work, with individuals affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), within a developmental context. Students explore fetal alcohol effects as they are experienced across the lifespan, from infancy to adulthood, as well as within specific social systems (family, community, workplace, school, and leisure-related settings). Secondary disabilities are addressed with attention to how these develop over time. Strategies for addressing secondary disability issues are discussed.
