of disorders and conditions that occur in people whose mothers
drank alcohol during pregnancy. This useful title gives an overview
of the mental, behavioral, and physical impairments of FASD, as
well as new research, treatments and methods for managing
behavioral issues. A chapter on caring for others addresses
