Cover Story: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder brings together a heterogeneity of conditions related to prenatal alcohol exposure, including impaired intellectual capacity, learning difficulties, memory impairment, and deficits in visuospatial ability, in addition to executive functioning and self-regulation. Beyond these, there are other additional barriers to quality of life, such as difficulties in independent functioning and activities of daily living, mental health conditions, problems with justice, and barriers to learning and participation. It is therefore of relevance to obtain behavioral and cognitive profiles according to the developmental stage (distinguishing between childhood and adolescence), which allows education professionals to detect warning signs and to offer an equitable educational response to this diversity.
