Abstract
Information on prevalence of special needs in internationally adopted children (IAC) is incomplete. We reviewed data from 422 IAC screened at a single Centre in Italy in 2015-16. Prevalence of special needs reached 17.1% (n = 72). Among these children, the most frequent conditions were fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD; n = 30; 7.1%), cleft lip palate (n = 8; 1.9%) and other congenital malformations (n = 20; 4.7%). Worrisomely, 25 out of 52 (48.1%) Russian children presented with FASD.Entities:
