A higher than expected proportion of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders had gross motor scores that indicated impairment and need for therapy

We aimed to describe school absence and its relationship with school performance for children with and without orofacial clefts.

We examined the relationship between a maternal alcohol-use diagnosis, and the timing of diagnosis, and child protection outcomes in a Western Australian population cohort.

Maternal alcohol use disorder was associated with a significantly increased odds of poor school attendance for non-Indigenous and Indigenous children.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Australia: Practice guidelines for diagnosis and management

Children with FASD have more teacher-reported behavioral impairment than children without FASD. In remote Australian communities, academic performance is poor.

Barriers in addressing FASD in Australia include a drinking culture and large populations living in regional or remote communities with high risk populations.
