Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term used to describe impacts on the brain and body of individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol. FASD is a lifelong disability. Individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily living, and need support with motor skills, physical health, learning, memory, attention, communication, emotional regulation, and social skills to reach their full potential. Each individual with FASD is unique and has areas of both strengths and challenges.
At Dufferin Wellington Guelph FASD, our dedicated DCAFS FASD Coordinators are committed to providing expert consultation and guidance, ensuring that families and individuals receive the specialized resources they need.
By fostering education and awareness among families, community partners, and professional peers, we aim to enhance understanding and build capacity within our community.
Together, we can create an inclusive environment that empowers those impacted by FASD to reach their potential.
Whether through our Family & Caregiver Support Group or our Dufferin Wellington Guelph FASD Action Group, we invite families and our community to connect with our FASD Coordinators for expert advice and resources, reinforcing DCAFS our unwavering commitment to nurturing a supportive and caring community.
