This section brings together trusted resources and research to help families, educators and professionals understand and support people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). You’ll find practical tools, professional guidance, and evidence-based studies to inform care, education and wider support planning.

Support after a diagnosis

After a diagnosis, you may want to know what support is available for someone with FASD and the people around them.

“We were overwhelmed at first. But connecting with other families who understand FASD made all the difference.” — Parent of a child diagnosed at our clinic

We recommend that families and carers find support for themselves as well as the person they care for. These organisations offer helpful strategies, peer support and advice.

Please also refer to the full FASD Clinic report for individual recommendations.
