Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) affect as many as 1 in 20 Americans yet remain one of the least recognized and least resourced disabilities in the United States. Both awareness and investment are severely lacking, even though we know that timely supports can make measurable differences for people with an FASD and their families. Early diagnosis, coordinated intervention services, and sustained community supports improve outcomes and reduce costs.

Dr. Julie Mei Law of UC Davis presented her research on FASD at the 2024 Western Medical Research Meeting this past January. The FASD Networks of Northern and Southern California were proud to be part of this research project.

The State Board of Education shall include “fetal alcohol spectrum disorder” in the definition of “other health impairment” in Section 3030 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations.
