Tip

If your children have an FASD, keep their rooms simple. Do not have a lot of posters, toys, or extra furniture, as they will overstimulate the children.

FASD Center for Excellence Viewing Library

The FASD Center for Excellence operates a Viewing Library in Rockville, Maryland. The library is part of the Information Resource Center and contains about 9,000 items related to FASD. Holdings include books, newspaper articles, magazine articles, professional journal articles, videos, audio cassettes, PowerPoint slides, and posters. Center staff continuously update the library with new materials as they are identified or developed.

To find out whether the library contains a particular item or information on a specific topic, search our database. The database allows you to search on keywords and media type.

Materials located in the library are the property of the FASD Center For Excellence and are not available for loan. However, the Center will be happy to make any of its materials available for viewing by appointment. For your convenience, we provide a television and VCR for viewing videos. Additionally, as a courtesy, we will be happy to make copies of documents of up to five pages in length.

The library is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Appointments may be scheduled by contacting Monique Mercer-Coleman at 301-527-6519 or monique.mercercoleman@ngc.com.
