The FASD Respect Act Passes the Senate HELP Committee
The fight to address the importance of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) achieved a huge milestone on December 12, 2023, as it passed the Senate HELP Committee. The bill represents a major step in positively affecting the lives of individuals with FASD and their families. FASD United, the national organization sponsoring FASD education, reports that an estimated 1 in 20 children in the United States are affected by FASD, but the majority of cases are undiagnosed.
