“…Most of the existing FASD literature focuses on children and prevention of PAE (Rasmussen, 2005). FASD has generally been viewed as a childhood disorder and is therefore linked to children's services (Temple et al., 2015), as well as the concern for early intervention to mitigate existing symptoms (Brintnell et al., 2011). Although prevention is critical in addressing the issues surrounding FASD, interventions must exist and be accessible in the community for individuals already affected by PAE, in particular adults.…”

“…Although prevention is critical in addressing the issues surrounding FASD, interventions must exist and be accessible in the community for individuals already affected by PAE, in particular adults. Many aspects of daily living for adults with FASD require substantial supports; unlike children, they do not have existing institutional structures (schools and families) to support them (Brintnell et al., 2011; Temple et al., 2015).…”

“…Developing effective community-based intervention programs for adults with FASD is challenging. There is limited research and information about the quality of life, life experiences, and intervention effectiveness for adults with FASD (Brintnell et al., 2011; Chudley et al., 2007). A recent review of the literature found only 11 studies focused on intervention for individuals with FASD, and among them only one study addressed the adult population (Wheeler et al., 2013).…”

Introduction: Current literature about interventions for adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is limited, which is a concern, due to the high prevalence of FASD. FASD creates lifelong physical, mental, cognitive and behavioral deficits, which impacts many aspects of daily living. Community-based interventions are necessary to better support adults with FASD and provide them with the opportunity to achieve success in their daily lives and social participation. This scoping review aimed to identify elements for developing successful community-based interventions for these individuals. Method: A search was conducted in the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and EMBASE databases and supplementary gray literature was resourced. Articles were selected based on inclusion-exclusion criteria, and a thematic analysis was completed to identify and present relevant findings. Results: Seven articles met selection criteria and were included in this review. Six emerging themes were identified: inclusion of a functional context, individualized support, education for service providers, structure and routine, utilizing a strengths-based approach, and environmental adaptations. These themes were used to present the findings related to the elements necessary for developing interventions for adults with FASD. Conclusion: The results indicate that the identified elements may be necessary to develop successful interventions, especially community-based interventions, for adults with FASD.

Purpose of Review There are a lack of system-wide integrative services for individuals with complex needs and a corresponding demand for advancing cross-disciplinary practices in community settings. This demand is especially acute for individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and a gap we have sought to address. Recent Findings We present findings from a literature scan to guide service delivery for individuals and families affected by FASD and other complex needs: four overarching guiding principles for policy decision-makers, seven guiding practices for organizations, and 23 guiding practices for service providers. Summary These identified principles and practices bridge diverse perspectives, with potential for their implementation to provide consistent, evidence-based services to underserved populations with complex needs.
