Text

One of the issues raised in several of the papers in this issue involve the early identification of individuals with histories of prenatal alcohol exposure, particularly those without the facial features of FAS. Early identification is necessary in order to provide interventions at the earliest possible time. The last article in this series by Kodituwakku and Kodituwakku present an overview of the intervention efforts in children with an FASD and preclinical work in this area. Although there is reason to assume that interventions proven effective in other disorders would also be effective in FASD, this paper presents a dynamic interactive framework combining various interventions in order to design a strategy to treat individuals with an FASD.
