The different issues previously described indicate the varying difficulties experienced by children with FAS and those providing care for the child. There are many interventions that can be implemented, some of which are described; however, there is not a simply designed plan that will work for each child affected by FAS. The home life and educational interventions for a child with FAS need to be consistent, diligent, yet flexible enough to meet the needs of the child as he/she develops.
Early intervention for the child with FAS plays a vital role in the development and success of the child. Due to the wide aberration of alcohol effects done to damage the brain; no child with FAS will respond the same to any/all techniques used. The importance of intervening early, is to aid the alcohol-affected child’s fundamental life skills he/she will need for continual intellectual growth and social development.
