The draft NICE Quality Standard on FASD emphasises the importance that every person with FASD has a continuing management plan.
While still a draft, the following excerpt outlines the importance of ongoing support by a range of professionals:
“Because FASD has lifelong effects, a staged management plan may be needed to anticipate upcoming problems at planned intervals. A management plan also helps people with FASD, their families, carers and service providers to understand and address the associated challenges. The plan helps to coordinate care over a range of healthcare professionals, as well as education and social services, and improves outcomes.”
