Role of Pediatric Medical Home in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Pediatric Medical Homes are integral to the comprehensive care plans necessary for a child with an FASD. A patient/family-centered medical home facilitates comprehensive and high-quality primary care. A medical home builds partnership with clinical specialists, families, and community resources. The medical home recognizes the family as an essential constant in a child's life and emphasizes partnership between health care professionals and families.
