The FASD Respect Act passed in 2025, but passing a law and funding its programs are two different things. Currently, the US Senate is finalizing its budget and approval for spending for 2027, and you can help ensure that the Senate funds FASD programs.

What Your Testimony is Asking For

This testimony is in support of a $10 million increase in funding for:

• Public education and outreach so families are better connected to supports
• A national clearinghouse for best practices, screening tools, and interventions
• Technical assistance to help states and tribes build their capacity to address FASD
• Resources and supports to help those with FASD and their families

Both individuals and organizations can submit testimony, and FASD has created a guideline for how to do it.
