What Are the Signs of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?
Fetal alcohol syndrome can have a combination of physical and psychological symptoms. A child with FAS may have a short build, a small head size, a specific facial structure consistent with FASD, or vision/hearing problems. This is not the only way to detect FAS though. Other signs of fetal alcohol syndrome include:
- Poor Judgement and Impulses
- Limited Social Skills and Difficulties Interacting with Peers
- Poor Perception of Time
- Hyperactivity and Learning Disabilities
- Difficulties with Balance and Coordination
- Delayed Communication Skills and Memory Struggles
- Struggles with Planning, Organizing, Problem Solving and Staying on Task
Our clinical psychologists know how to evaluate these symptoms and other indicators to accurately diagnose a child’s underlying condition. If you’d like more information or you want to schedule an appointment for fetal alcohol syndrome testing in Metro Detroit, please call (248) 644-9466.
