regularly update their strategic plans. The Interagency Coordinating 
Committee on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (ICCFASD) fosters 
improved communication, cooperation, and collaboration among 
disciplines and federal agencies that address health, education, 
developmental disabilities, alcohol research, and social services and 
justice issues related to prenatal alcohol exposure. The ICCFASD 
envisions that collaborative partnerships, using the resources of the 
federal government in partnership with other organizations, will lead 
to improved prevention of prenatal alcohol exposure, earlier 
identification and improved surveillance of fetal alcohol spectrum 
disorders (FASD), and more effective interventions and services for 
individuals living with FASD as well as their families. ICCFASD is 
sponsored and chaired by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and 
Alcoholism.
