Just because Sept is almost over doesn't mean that FASD goes away. There are 365 days that we can bring Awareness, Education and Support. FASD Awareness Month is amazing and brings Awareness. Now we need to continue that for the rest of the year. #FASDAwareness

So True EFAN. No two individuals with FASD are identically impacted by the toxic impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure.

Alcohol is a teratogen, meaning it can disrupt fetal development during the entire 40 weeks of pregnancy, and affect an individual’s physical, cognitive, social, and behavioural functioning later in life. #FASD
