Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a term that describes all the harmful effects of alcohol on the unborn child. The effects last a lifetime – there is no cure. FASD is a preventable permanent disability. It is estimated that 2 to 5 percent of babies born in Canada are affected by FASD. People with FASD often have difficulties with learning, memory, attention and problem solving, as well as problems with mental health and social interaction.
