For parents and caregivers, as per Dr. Chasnoff-
When seeking an FASD evaluation, make sure the clinician evaluates your child / teen across the Three Domains of Functioning:
1. Neurocognitive
2. Self-Regulation
3. Adaptive Functioning
Look for the "FASD and the Online World" book by Dr. Chasnoff on NTI Upstream
* You can email Dr. Chasnoff at NTI Upstream for a copy of the "American Bar Association's Resolution on FASD as a Mitigating Factor in Adjudicating and Sentencing" *
