Learning Objectives: 1. Learn the current methods and criteria used for the diagnosis of FASD in the CoFASP initiative which have been used in multiple other populations around the world and which are appropriate for research and clinical work in most any human population 2. Present descriptive highlights of the continuum of physical characteristics and minor anomalies present in children with and without FASD in general populations of the USA 3. Understand the cognitive and behavioral traits for children with and without FASD that are characteristic of first grade children in general U.S. populations
