motor coordination during childhood continued to be apparent in adulthood among individuals previously diagnosed with FAS or ARND (Connor, Sampson, Streissguth, Bookstein, & Barr, 2006). It is possible that the discrepancies between studies are because each examined different aspects of motor function. It is also possible that some types of motor impairment may represent developmental delays that eventually normalize with age, while others may be long lasting impairments in function. Additional research will help to discern the extent of motor impairment throughout the lifespan.
