| Statewide Interest: |
| Florida spends an estimated $78,918,000 annually to provide special education and juvenile justice services to children 5-18 years affected by FASD. This amounts to an estimated $914,183 spent per day for these services. The goal is to improve their quality of life and assist them in reaching their highest level of independent functioning. We also hope to prevent future births of children with FASD through education and referral of birth mothers of those children involved in the FASD identification and treatment project. |
