Michigan State Plan FASD State Resources
Michigan has 5 FASD Diagnostic Clinics designated as Centers of Excellence that receive funding from the Michigan Department
of Community Health (MDCH). In addition, there are 10 community-based FASD projects that have also received state funding
for FY '09-10. The community-based projects are designed to achieve one of three goals:
1. FASD Prevention: Decrease the incidence of FASD by eliminating alcohol consumption by pregnant women.
2. FASD Screening, Diagnosis and Linking: Increase the identification of individuals exposed to alcohol during pregnancy,
provide diagnostic evaluations and linking with specific resources based on the individual need.
3. Intervention Strategies for Individuals Affected by FASD: Improve the functioning and quality of life of children, youth
or adults with an FASD and their families.
Two FASD expert consultants provide education, training, technical assistance and support to the FASD Task Force, Diagnostic
Clinics and the 10 community-based projects in the state.
