Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE): Stage 1

Aug 22, 2025
1 min read

Consider prenatal alcohol exposure to support early intervention.... what difference could there be if we 'rule it in' before we rule it out..... good practice tells us that we 'stop to consider needs before we start' to support them?


Was there a teratogen damage in the womb ......was there exposure to drugs or/and alcohol?


  • What is Neurodevelopmental Trauma?

  • What is Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE)?

  • Should you consider Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)?

  • Exploring when the alcohol went in, how can this impact the growing foetus?

  • Processing information & methods of communication?

  • Confabulation & risk management

  • Sensory needs & supporting the emerging challenges

  • Tuning in to masking & blending in to keep safe

  • New framework for OFSTED & the NICE Quality Standards for FASD


Good practice in providing neurodevelopmental support informs us that early intervention and working towards being ‘FASD Responsive’ includes a whole team approach by empowering all professionals & carers that comes into contact with child/ren, young people & adults with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) to be inclusive.


These online bitesize sessions can be adapted to meet your team & delivered at a time that suits you.
