September 9 is International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day. Here in Saskatchewan, the day will be marked by various events organized by regional FASD community networks.
FASD is a life-long disability caused when mothers drink alcohol during pregnancy. In the western world, including Canada, it's the leading known cause of intellectual disabilities.
"Recently, the provincial government established a cross-ministerial committee to lead the development of recommendations to address service gaps for individuals with ASD/FASD," Social Services Minister and committee lead June Draude said. "This committee is mapping the current array of services for individuals with ASD/FASD and FASD prevention programs in Saskatchewan. They are identifying service gaps and best practices, and progressing toward the development of recommendations to enhance services throughout the lifespan of those living with ASD/FASD and FASD."
Minister Draude will be attending the 11th annual Fetal Alcohol Canadian Expertise (FACE) Research Roundtable next week in Vancouver. FACE is a national network that brings together researchers, clinicians, program providers, community leaders, government representatives and the public to discuss the latest research on all aspects of FASD.
Over the past few years the Government of Saskatchewan has increased its investment in services and supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) through the Autism Framework and Cognitive Disabilities Strategy. These funding increases have significantly enhanced the supportive services available to individuals with ASD/FASD.
