Following the closure of Health Nexus on March 31, 2026, Partners for Planning (P4P) will be managing and updating this website and the FASD Family & Caregiver Support Group Grants. We are dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience and appreciate your continued patience during this transition.
This presentation features Dr. Clare Mitchell exploring the similarities and differences between Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The discussion highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary assessment to ensure children receive the correct supports rather than a diagnosis based on diagnostic bias. The webinar emphasizes that while these conditions are lifelong, understanding a child’s specific neuro-cognitive profile allows for more effective, individualized treatment and intervention.
