The Challenge of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Overcoming Secondary Disabilities: It's a facile
but short-sighted policy to act as though FAS is an issue confined to children under 12 years old,
or to women. There is no logical cutoff point in the population because innate disability -- physical
or mental -- interacts with social environments and shifting expectations in different ways
throughout a person's lifetime. Behaviors that are tolerable though worrisome at 11 become
unacceptable and criminal at 15, prosecutable at 18, thuggish at 40". -- Michael Dorris
In the first book of its kind, experts describe how to help people with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. A
summary of recent findings and recommendations is presented by the team who conducted the
largest study ever done on people of all ages with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol
Effects. Twenty-two experts from the fields of human services, education, and criminal justice
respond by describing their solutions to this problem of a birth defect that targets the brain and has
lifelong consequences.

assessment and intervention approaches designed to promote very young children's self-
regulation and adaptive behavior; and, become aware of new directions and outstanding questions
in basic and applied research in the field.
