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.
