Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Level 3

If you want to develop your knowledge of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders so that you can embark on a rewarding career or you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.

This Distance Learning Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders course has been drawn up in conjunction with experts -FASawareUK.

Many clinicians, teachers and most families, have limited clinical expertise in this relatively un-publicised syndrome, so this course will therefore be beneficial to both professionals and families and will help them to gain an increased understanding of the issues and the possible responses and any interventions.

The Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Distorders (FASD) course covers the clinical issues involved in alcohol use during pregnancy, together with the clinical symptoms and developmental outcomes. The course then looks at the neuropathology of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), including psychopathy and cognitive functioning. Finally, it will examine interventions, including prevention and the rehabilitation approaches available.

The course aims to provide a nationally accredited certificated programme covering a wide range of issues associated with the use of alcohol during pregnancy and the variety of clinical symptoms and developmental outcomes together with possible interventions. Students are provided with a flexible learning opportunity that is accessible to a wide range of learners and you will gain an understanding that can be applied by those who either personally, professionally or voluntary have a special interest in this field.
