Technologies for Supporting Individuals and Caregivers Living With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: Scoping Review

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term that describes the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) on an individual [1]. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 7.7 of every 1000 births are affected by FASD [2]. People with FASD may experience restricted growth, diminished neurological and cognitive functioning, and behavioral problems [1].

Evaluation of a Custom-Developed Computer Game to Improve Executive Functioning in 4- to 6-Year-Old Children Exposed to Alcohol in Utero: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

To date, the highest prevalence of FASD globally has been found in selected communities in South Africa, with a prevalence rate of 135.1 per 1000 in a particular population in the Western Cape province and 119.4 per 1000 in the Northern Cape provinces [3-5]. Deficits in both elementary and higher order intellectual functioning have been found in FASD. It has been established that some of the key deficits in children are in the domains of attention, information processing, and executive function (EF) [6].
