“My husband and I have been through the webinar training as well as 2 additional trainings given to our school district. We have found it extremely helpful and highly recommend this class. So many wonderful discussions, questions and ideas to help us as well as our community have a better understanding. This training truly lifted a weight from our shoulders and gave us more patience. Thank you.”

“We had the doctor’s diagnosis. But F.A.F.A.S.D. helps to give us understanding.”

The webinars and in-person workshops presented by FAFASD present factual information about FASDs, and help parents and professionals understand the behaviors associated with the brain differences connected with fetal alcohol exposure. Our workshops help caregivers, professionals, and other supporters understand our loved ones with FASD and give practical, individualized strategies so that everyone impacted by FASD – individuals and families-can succeed.
