Project Description:

This project will provide training and technical assistance to enable eight Northrop Grumman FASD diagnostic and intervention subcontractors to use the FAS Photographic Analysis Software to screen children and youth for FASD. The subcontractors consist of existing interdisciplinary teams from around the country. Training will be performed via video conference and focus on the use of the FAS Photographic Analysis Software. Training participants will practice taking and analyzing photographs in the training sessions and receive feedback from the trainer. Technical assistance will be provided to subcontractors and consist of reviews of the analysis that has been done of photographs at their site. The ultimate goal of the project is to further expand the capability of interdisciplinary teams across the country in screening, diagnosing and beginning intervention of children and youth for FASD.
