How are FASDs diagnosed?
Diagnosing FASDs can be difficult. If a birth mother drinks during pregnancy, being honest with her doctor will help avoid a wrong diagnosis. For the child, the earlier the diagnosis the better. A doctor can make a diagnosis alone, but may also seek opinions from other experts. The best treatment for FASDs will involve a range of healthcare professionals, such as psychologists, speech pathologists, social workers, and certain kinds of therapists.
