Mission: Moving the Invisible to Invincible
At I2I FASD Services we are committed to serving individuals and families on their journey from diagnosis, to understanding FASDs, to designing supports and accommodations specific to each person for home, school, and work environments. Additionally, I2I is committed to educating professionals and community members about FASD because FASD impacts everyone.
FASD is a mostly invisible disability
DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS
FASD is an umbrella term for at least 4 separate diagnoses. Here at I2I FASD Services we specialize in diagnosing Neurodevolpmental Disorder Associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure or ND-PAE or Unspecified Neurodevelopmental Disorder
According to the CDC:
The Model
At I2I FASD Services we use a multidisciplinary model of diagnosis. We synthesize all diagnostic information provided by the individual or family from outside providers and supplement that information with first hand observations, interviews, and assessments.
We use the SDRC model developed by
Dr. Elizabeth Cleveland
The Requirements
Families will be required to provide information to support the diagnosis
2. Any medical information and/or genetic testing results to rule out any other
possible causes for the symptoms reported and/or observed
3. Reports from other providers such as Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy,
Mental Health Providers, Behaviorists, etc...
**If proof of PAE can not be provided, a separate diagnosis could be offered
The Outcome
Once all the data is provided and analyzed, I2I will:
1. Complete a comprehensive report with conclusions, recommendations, and a list of
individualized supports and accommodations.
2. If supported, possibly provide a diagnosis of ND-PAE (Neurodevelopmental Disorder
Associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure) or Unspecified Neurodevelopmental
Disorder.
3. Provide one virtual meeting for up to 60 minutes to review the report and
recommendations.
