Is FASD established or speculative?

The signs are prominently there. Obviously we don't have access to confidential medical records although Shamika and at least one of her sisters spent time in therapeutic schools.

Regardless of the cause all of the debilitating factors are presenting themselves. And the reality is something should be done +consistently to prevent children from repeating these cycles. Something formalized, concrete and long term if we are serious about stopping a continuous cycle of poverty and instability.

PP Mom of FAS-ling child again.   Here's something else depressing--several years ago, a friend was studying social work and doing a practicum at DC General's homeless shelter working with the children there.  At that point in our parenting journey, I was really starting to get educated about the role FASD plays in the continuation of multi-generational poverty and the people who flail on the margins of society and fall into homelessness, prison, etc.  I asked my friend if there was any conversation/training for the social workers at DC General around FASD.  She said there was none whatsoever.    [/quote]
