This course on Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders has been written to aid families and professionals dealing with a child with FASD. Most people have very limited knowledge on this unpopular topic.

Common problems associated with FASD are:

  • Common problems include:
  • Vision impairment
  • Sleep problems
  • Heart defects
  • Liver problems
  • Poor immune system
  • Speech & language delays
  • Impulsivity
  • Memory problems
  • Hyperactivity
  • Inappropriate social behaviour

This course looks at the adverse effects of alcohol during pregnancy on the cognitive and psychological development of a child.

Support

A tutor will be able for support via post or e-mail, with our student support team also on hand to help with any queries you may have. Assignments must be submitted to your tutor through email and these are then marked as soon as possible.
