How to Treat Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
There is no specific medical treatment for this condition. Early intervention is helpful, as well as a supportive, nurturing home.
Social Services
Professional support helps a family cope with caring for a child with birth defects. Services include respite care and parent training. You can learn ways to handle behavior problems and stress management techniques.
Special Education
Programs designed to meet your child's needs improve learning. For example, messages may need to be repeated. Tasks may need to be broken down into smaller steps.
Supportive Environment
- Provide consistent direction and structure.
- Keep to routines.
