Treatment of children with FAS includes treatment for birth defects at
the time of birth and educational or medical treatments for learning problems
or behavioral disorders as the child grows older. Behavioral
disorders may be treated with medications, psychotherapy, or a combination
of both.
Adults who care for or teach children with FAS should provide structure
and be consistent in their behavior toward them. These children do
best with routines that vary as little as possible so that they learn to see
the world as a predictable place. Instructions should be brief and repeated
frequently because such children have difficulty paying attention.
