Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: An overview of interventions for affected individuals

Abstract

Whilst much has been written about understanding the diagnostic and underlying pathological processes related to prenatal alcohol exposure, far less has been directed at the management of affected individuals. We undertake a review of the literature focusing on a range of interventions including psychological, social, educational, pharmacological as well recent advances and directions. This paper is designed to give an overview on the management of this complex disorder. © 2008 Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health.
