The goal of this handbook is to provide an over-arching framework for FASD assessments within CDBC, and to address common questions which arise during assessments. This handbook is intended as a reference for clinicians conducting CDBC network assessments. In particular, it provides in depth description of the physicians’ and psychologists’ roles to ensure consistency across the province. The CDBC network uses the 2016 Canadian Guidelines and the Appendix for the diagnosis of FASD.
