Help for parents of children with fetal alcohol disorders

Help for parents of children with fetal alcohol disorders

The Utah Fetal Alcohol Coalition is planning a November seminar in Kaysville to help parents raising children who suffer from fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

The disorders are the No. 1 known cause of birth defects and intellectual disabilities, according to the Utah Department of Health. Each year, 40,000 babies are born with FASD in the U.S. -- and the majority of them are adopted by unprepared families.
