Foetal Alcohol Syndrome:

FASD Ireland was set up by a group of carers in Ireland who have had contact with children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FAS,pFAS,ARND,ARBD).

The association is dedicated to:
  • Raising awareness about FASD (FAS,pFAS,ARND,ARBD).
  • Helping to reduce the incidence of birth defects and neurological damage caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol.
  • Supporting families, carers and individuals, struggling with the lifelong disabilities associated with FASD, by providing information.
  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders is the leading known cause of intellectual learning disabilities.
  • Most individuals with FASD have normal intelligence.
  • FASD causes serious social and behaviour problems.
  • No amount of alcohol is known to be safe during pregnancy.
  • Alcohol causes more damage to baby than any other drug.
  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are preventable.
