Prof. Barry Carpenter, the National Director for Special Educational Needs, told a nursing summit that, “There had been a 25 percent increase in children with learning disabilities in the past five years, taking the number to 950,000.”
Carpenter asserts that infants develop these disorders because a large number of young women aged between 19 to 24 binge heavily, having unplanned pregnancies followed by drinking in the vital first 13 weeks.
FASD, which is caused by poisoning in the womb, causes facial deformities, severe learning problems, and hyperactivity.
