Description

In this progress report, you will find an overview of the Government of Alberta’s FASD 10-year Strategic Plan after seven years. This evaluation was facilitated by PolicyWise for Children & Families. The full evaluation data can be found in the “Overview of Key Findings and Recommendations” document at fasd.alberta.ca. In most cases, we are well on our way to meeting our Year 10 targets. For example, 89% of Albertans surveyed indicate a high level of awareness around what causes FASD; 81% of women participating in the Parent-Child Assistance Program for three years, many of whom have dealt with serious addictions, are preventing FASD births. 90% of people are satisfied with their FASD supports—and research from Alberta is guiding best practices in the field.

Description

On November 18 and 19, 2008 approximately 70 key stakeholders with experience and expertise in assessment and diagnosis from across North America gathered in Edmonton to discuss the basic elements of a comprehensive and coordinated system for conducting assessments and developing diagnostic criteria of FASD among adult populations in Alberta. The discussions and presentations on November 18th formed the basis of this discussion paper. Participants were provided an opportunity to review the discussion paper and provide feedback, which has been incorporated into this final version. This document will serve to influence more detailed planning and actions for conducting FASD assessments and diagnoses among adult populations in Alberta and will hopefully be beneficial for jurisdictions elsewhere.
