Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders:DEFINED

FASD is an umbrella term  NOT a diagnostic term Describes the spectrum of problems experienced by individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). 

PAE can cause a range of serious physical, cognitive, behavioral, and social deficits.  Neurodevelopmental problems often worsen over time, especially without intervention.

FASD is LIFELONG.FASD Regional Training Centers Curriculum Development Team, 2015

“Of all the substances of abuse, including heroin, cocaine, and marijuana, alcohol produces by far the most serious neurobehavioral effects in the fetus.”

National Institute of Medicine, 1996, p. 35

But it’s just alcohol…

Page 8: Therapy Roles in and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum ...c.ymcdn.com/sites/ · PDF fileIdentification and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

Prenatal alcohol exposure is the leading known cause of mental retardation and developmental disabilities among babies born in North America and the Western world.

There is no safe time or amount to drink during pregnancy

CDC, 2016:  “It is recommended that women who are pregnant or might be pregnant not drink alcohol at all. FASDs do not occur if a developing baby is not exposed to alcohol before birth.”

FASDs are 100% Preventable

“Without appropriate diagnostic guidelines, affected individuals are frequently misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately (often to their considerable detriment) by mental health, educational, and criminal justice systems.”

Kable et al. 2016

Why does FASD matter?

Page 10: Therapy Roles in and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum ...c.ymcdn.com/sites/ · PDF fileIdentification and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

428 comorbid conditions are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.

Often the physician may diagnose the comorbid condition that brings the individual to seek care, rather than the FASD.  

FASD is a serious public health concern that lacks recognition, at staggering costs.

“Results suggest that the risk of adverse outcomes might be reduced by families, communities and physicians working together to assure that children with FASD are raised in long‐lasting, stable, nurturing homes, and by providing the rearing families with a meaningful diagnosis for their child as early as possible in life.”

FASD Terminology Overview

FASD can include four medical diagnostic categories usually given by a dysmorphologist, clinical geneticist, or developmental pediatrician  

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)  Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (PFAS) Alcohol‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) Alcohol‐Related Birth Defects (ARBD)

Page 18: Therapy Roles in and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum ...c.ymcdn.com/sites/ · PDF fileIdentification and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

FASD Terminology Overview

Neurodevelopmental Disorder Associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (ND‐PAE) is a new diagnosis considered to need further study by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual 5

Intended to encompass both the neurodevelopmental and mental health symptoms associated with PAE.

Prevalence:  2014 Pediatrics Study

Mid‐western, middle‐class community. Participants:  70.5% first graders enrolled in public and 

private schools Sample of small children (size <25th percentile) and 

randomly selected controls were examined. Mothers were interviewed for maternal risk and children 

were examined for physical growth, development, dysmorphology, cognition, and behavior.

FAS: 6‐ 9/1000 children  All FASD: 24‐48 /1000 children (2.4% to 4.8%)

Embryonic research has show that craniofacial dysmorphology associated with FAS occurs with PAE in the third week of pregnancy.  

Dramatic embryonic cell death was also found to occur within 24 hours.

Sulik, Johnston & Webb, 1981

How soon in the pregnancy can FASD occur?

Page 23: Therapy Roles in and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum ...c.ymcdn.com/sites/ · PDF fileIdentification and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

Timing of Exposure

There are multiple critical periods associated with prenatal alcohol exposure:

1st Trimester Drinking: risk for major morphological abnormalities, characteristic facial features, growth retardation, and neurological effects

2nd Trimester Drinking: risk for spontaneous abortion, growth retardation, and neurological effects

3rd Trimester Drinking: risk for growth                                   retardation and neurological effects

1 in 10 women drink during pregnancy. FAS can occur before a woman knows she is pregnant.

Approximately half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned.

There is no safe time or amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy.

Green, McKnight‐Eily, Tan, Mejia & Denny, 2016

Facts about Women and Alcohol

Page 26: Therapy Roles in and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum ...c.ymcdn.com/sites/ · PDF fileIdentification and Treatment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

Be aware of personal stigmatization the mother may experience and approach the issue cautiously. 

Common for mothers to deny or underreport PAE. Report of spouse, close relative or friend may be helpful. Confirmation of maternal alcohol use is required for ARND 

or ARBD diagnoses, but firm documentation is not always needed for FAS or PFAS diagnoses because biomarkers can be used.

Best practice:  start with broad health questions and learn about patterns of alcohol use prior to the pregnancy.

Hoyme et al. 2016

Impact of Alcohol on the Developing Fetus

Alcohol readily crosses the placenta: Embryo/fetus exposed to similar BAC (blood alcohol concentrations) levels 

as mother Fetal liver/organs unable to fully metabolize alcohol

Specific manifestations of prenatal alcohol exposure are affected by timing, dose, and other fetal/maternal factors

Some “catch‐up” in fetal growth and development may be possible if drinking stops at any time during pregnancy

Biological Effects of Alcohol on the Fetus

Scientific studies of the effects of alcohol on the fetus have shown the following mechanisms: Cell death and incorrect cell migration  Interferes with nerve formation Interferes with normal synapse development Affects neurotransmitter receptors Regional brain development failures Decrease in nervous system regeneration.

Postnatal Effects of Alcohol Exposure

Significant amount of brain maturation occurs postnatally: Myelination and synapse formation continue through first year 

of life Alcohol exposure during this time has been shown to interfere 

with myelination resulting in alterations in gross motor movements

Alcohol use during lactation may be damaging to the nutritional intake of the infant: Interferes with effective suckling, intake, sleep

Verbal expression is assumed to be an accurate indicator of cognitive understanding or emotional age

Providers may assume that client understands them and is capable of remembering and following through behaviorally

If client can discuss a consequence, it may be assumed that the client can anticipate or avoid it again in the future.

Service providers and educators sometimes take insightful comments as proof that the individual is intentionally misbehaving, lazy, intentionally deceptive, deviant, unmotivated or playing games.

Assumption is often made that the client is oriented to abstract realities and aware of “lying” or “stealing”

IMPORTANT:  Neither verbal ability nor IQ are accurate indicators of function in individuals with FASD

High Verbal Skill May Lead to Inaccurate Assumptions

“With Fetal Alcohol, the difference between what they know and what they can do is the disability. They know a lot, it's just hard to put thoughts into action. This happens because of deficits in their executive functioning.”

‐‐ Jeff Noble, FASDForever.com

The presence of individual skills or pieces of knowledge does not necessarily translate to an ability to perform occupational tasks.  

Self‐report measures may have limited validity. We may be more successful at identifying our client’s 

occupational deficits if we include functional assessment of executive function and adaptive behaviors.

Teaching of skills may not be sufficient to help our clients; they may also need interpersonal and environmental supports to help them carry out those skills in a functional way and to generalize across environments.

Children with FASD showed significantly more problems with sensory modulation, sensory‐motor performance, and more neurological soft signs.

FASD group scored lower in academic achievement with significantly lower scores in spelling and math; they also had significantly higher problem behaviors on the SSRS.

FASD group had significantly lower adaptive behavior and more maladaptive behaviors.
