Project Description

It is expected that this project will build on existing FASD research in Western Australia by exploring what is known and done about FASD in early learning and care settings, specifically to:

• Explore knowledge of FASD in early learning and care settings in Western Australia;

• Explore awareness of referral pathways (both formal and informal) for children with suspected FASD in those settings; and

• Identify use of services and incidence of referrals for children with suspected FASD in those settings.
