For parents and caregivers, as per Dr. Chasnoff-

When seeking an FASD evaluation, make sure the clinician evaluates your child / teen across the Three Domains of Functioning:

1. Neurocognitive

2. Self-Regulation

3. Adaptive Functioning


Look for the "FASD and the Online World" book by Dr. Chasnoff  on NTI Upstream
