Indiana Alliance on Prenatal Substance Exposure (formerly Indiana NOFAS)

Indiana Alliance is here to help make your daily life easier. Whether worried about an infant, struggling raising an adolescent, encountering challenges working with an adult, or as an educator having difficulty with a student with an FASD, we hope you find this website useful.

FASD is widely understood to be a hidden disability. Even among those who do recognize FASD, the focus is often on children and not adults with the disorders. As individuals with FASD enter adulthood, they and their family members and caregivers face additional challenges.

It is important to identify individuals living with FASD and support them to improve functioning in society. Important support networks include professionals, educators, health care providers, social services, criminal justice system, government officials and policymakers. Relevant topics include education, employment, legal assistance, health care, and housing.
