Part Two: Scenarios


In this section, we would like you to test the FASD Toolkit and give us your feedback. Before you begin this section, please open the FASD Toolkit in a separate tab or browser window by either clicking on the following link or copying and pasting the URL into the address bar of a new tab or browser window. (if you accidentally close the survey, you may return to it by using the original email link):


http://www.aap.org/fasd




The questions in this section, will ask you to read four brief case scenarios. After each case scenario, you will be asked to use the toolkit to assist you in clinical decision-making related to a specific question. You will then be asked to rate the toolkit based on your experience. There is no right or wrong answer to any of the questions; we are interested in your honest feedback on the toolkit.


Please be sure the toolkit remains open in a separate tab or browser window while you complete this section:


A. Identification of children at risk for FASD

Early identification of children at risk for FASD has many potential benefits, including: earlier diagnosis, early access to information regarding intervention and support for parents; earlier access to targeted interventions; and earlier identification of comorbid medical, developmental, and psychiatric conditions. 1

Case Scenario #1


Initial Symptoms

Ann is an 8-year 7-month-old white girl who was brought to your office for a well-child visit by her adoptive mother. This is their first visit to your clinic since they moved from another state owing to a work transfer.

Medical History


Ann was born preterm at 29 weeks and stayed in the birth hospital for a total of 6 weeks, initially for respiratory support and then to support feeding and growth.


Weight: 2 lb (<3rd percentile)

Length: 39 cm (5th percentile)

Head circumference: 27.5 cm (<3rd percentile)


The biological mother denied the use of drugs but admitted to drinking alcohol at least weekly throughout the pregnancy. Owing to Child Protective Services involvement with a previous child, Ann was discharged to therapeutic foster parents, who subsequently adopted her. There were no disruptions in her home environment.


Developmental history revealed delays in gross motor, fine motor, self-care, and language skills.


Ann learned the alphabet early, but had difficulty with reading comprehension and mathematics in the first and second grades. However, Ann tests within the low average range and has met requirements to be promoted with her classmates, but only with intense support from the family members, which is causing a strain within the family.


Her mother said that she struggles in all academic areas. Ann is starting to have difficulty with peers owing to her academic challenges and immaturity.

Physical examination


Weight: 38 lb (<3rd percentile)

Height: 44 in (<3rd percentile)

Head circumference: 49.5 cm (<3rd percentile)


There were bilateral epicanthal folds and hypertelorism. She had short palpebral fissures, with a smooth philtrum and a thin upper lip (rank 4 on the Washington University Lip-Philtrum Guides). She had a grade 3/6 holosystolic murmur.


Neurological examination

Examination revealed generalized hypotonia. She was friendly and generally cooperative, although needed frequent redirection. She was shy but became appropriately socially engaged after she warmed up to you.

B. Diagnosis of children who have or who may have FASD

Case Scenario #2

Lily is a 7 y 10 month old Caucasian female who was adopted from Ukraine at 17 months of age and who presented with growth deficits, facial abnormalities, microcephaly, developmental delay and an MRI abnormality. She has frequent ear infections related to small ear canals. She also has ophthalmologic and orthopedic problems. She has urinary incontinence. She is an ex-32 weeker with birth weight of 2 lbs12 oz. Developmental history reviewed that Lily stood by herself at 19 mos and walked at 36 months. She can use a spoon, fork and regular cup and dress herself with assistance. She can scribble but has trouble drawing a circle/cross. She has a few words and 30-40 signs. She is receiving ECE services in a self-contained classroom. She receives speech language therapy and occupational therapy services.

  • Family history: Unknown

  • Social history: Adopted at 17 mos from Ukraine.

Physical examination showed height to be in the 7th %ile, weight at 3rd %ile and head circumference at 3rd percentile. She had very short palpebral fissures at 2.2 cm ®, smooth to flat philtrum and very thin upper lip. She had microcephaly, telecanthus, small, less developed ear with narrow canals, micrognathia, bilateral hockey stick creases, and shallow sacral dimple. Neurological examination showed a friendly, cooperative and attentive child with hypotonia in the upper extremities, increased tone on the ankles, poor tandem gait, and hyperreflexia in lower extremities. Psychological evaluation (DP-III) showed cognitive skills at 16 months age equivalent, and adaptive skills at 14 months age equivalent. Speech-language evaluation showed receptive language at 2 yrs 1 month and expressive language at 1 year 1 month (PLS-IV) and therefore had a severe receptive-expressive language impairment.

C. Referring Children who have or who may have FASD

Case Scenario #3



Robert is a 14-year-old Caucasian male who was brought to your clinic by his adoptive mother because she was researching his symptoms online and was concerned that her son may have fetal alcohol syndrome. She knew all along that his 21-year-old biological mother drank alcohol (mixed drinks and wine, about 4-5 drinks, 2-3 nights a week) during her first 3 months of pregnancy. Beyond that, biological mother denied family history of any developmental disorders or psychiatric conditions. Biological mother finished at least 2 years of college. Robert is failing academically. He has significant behavioral problems in school. He has trouble following multi-step directions. He is extremely impulsive and has a lot of meltdowns and aggressive behavior. He was placed in emotional/behavioral disorder (EBD) classes, which his mother felt made some of the behaviors worse as he tended to go with the wrong crowd in these particular classes. He has always been naïve and suggestible and would do anything for a friend. Despite repeated instruction, he still has not mastered good self-care or grooming skills.

  • Robert was born at term though the pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth retardation. Birth weight and length were both at the 50th percentile. Head circumference was at 25th percentile. Previous psychoeducational testing done showed an IQ score of 80 but on academic achievement testing, his reading, mathematics and written expression standard scores were in the low 60s. He had good expressive language scores but his receptive language was in the borderline range and closer to a 10 year old level. He is currently on medications for ADHD but this has not significantly improved distractibility and impulsivity. His psychiatrist also gave him neuroleptic medications on the basis of extreme meltdowns and aggressive behavior. On physical examination, weight was at the 50th percentile while height was at the 25th percentile. Head circumference was at the 25th percentile. He had no dysmorphic facial features except for somewhat wide inner canthal distance (space between the eyes). He was charming and sociable but was unusually impulsive and distractible. He had difficulty staying focused on tasks and although he talked a lot, much of the conversation was circuitous and immature, closer to a 7-8 year-old child than that of a 14-year-old.
