Preparing and Involving Caregivers for Children with FASD – The development, implementation and review of care plans for children with FASD are done in close collaboration with the child’s caregivers from the beginning of the planning process. Activities such as specialized training, arranging support and respite, and involving them with external collaterals, are recorded on the child’s file on a monthly basis at minimum.
-
Identification and Diagnosis of FASD – A child suspected of having FASD is referred for a medical examination and diagnosis, before the age of six or as early as possible thereafter. The referring worker: acquires the mother’s confirmation, and if possible, written acknowledgement of her alcohol use prenatally, obtains written evidence of child’s learning and behavioral difficulty, and obtains the consent of the child’s legal guardian if the agency does not have guardianship. Referral can be made through the Manitoba FASD Centre and the Manitoba FASD Network. Both programs undertake screening, diagnosis, and follow up with those suspected of having FASD.
