SUMMARY:FASCETS Center for Neurodiversity TRAINING Brain-Based Conditions Including FASD: Understanding & Application of the FASCETS Brain-Based Approach
DESCRIPTION:The FASCETS brain-based approach explores the concept that we each have strengths and challenges based on how our brain works. These can be directly informed by our genetic make-up or by pre or postnatal events. In both our 15-hour upcoming training\, we discuss the FASCETS brain-based or neurobehavioral approach which links brain function with behaviors\, leading to supports that work and make a difference for all brain-based differences such as FASD\, ADHD\, Autism\, Dementia\, TBI and more! \nJoin us for a deep dive into the 15-hour Live webinar to learn more about the FASCETS brain-based approach and discover tools to implement it in all settings in order to create person-specific supports regardless of the source of the brain-based difference: FASD\, ASD\, ADHD\, autism\, dementia\, acquired brain injuries…) It is effective for all people across their entire lifespan. \nIf you are someone who lives with\, works with or knows someone with a confirmed or suspected brain-based difference\, this workshop is for you! \nTo learn more about these and all of our other upcoming trainings and to register\, visit: https://www.fascets.org/book-online

SUMMARY:FASD Changemakers: Lay of the Land Survey #1 Health Issues in  500+ Older Teens & Adults with Dx FASD
DESCRIPTION:The first of two published researches with the Adult Leadership Collaborative Changemakers. \nIt was long suspected that adults with FASD face more health issues than the general population\, but research was lacking—mainly because adults were hard to find. In 2016\, the ALC launched a 260-question health survey for adults with diagnosed FASD\, with only technical software support. Nearly 700 responses came in from people aged late teens to early sixties; 561 were usable. Preliminary results were shared in 2017\, final data in 2019\, and the survey published in 2020. This workshop shares key findings and how the survey led to several funded multi-site health studies. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nIdentify common physical and mental health challenges experienced by adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)\, as reported in the ALC survey.\nExplain how early identification and documentation of FASD in adulthood can inform treatment planning\, service coordination\, and client advocacy.\nAnalyze the implications of the ALC survey findings for clinical practice\, including the need for multidisciplinary approaches and improved access to care for adults with FASD.\n\nPresenters: \nCJ Lutke\,  ALC FASD Changemakers\, Vancouver\, BC\n \nCJ Lutke is a respected FASD advocate\, speaker\, and systems change leader. Diagnosed with full FAS at birth\, she was adopted at age five\, along with her siblings who also have FASD. For over 20 years\, she’s led trainings\, presented at conferences\, and contributed to FASD research. \nA founding member of the FASD Changemakers Adult Leadership Committee\, CJ co-led the Lay of the Land surveys on adult health and quality of life. She serves on advisory groups\, including a BC family court reform committee\, and recently joined a national CAMH project on FASD and suicidality. \nCJ mentors young adults with FASD\, blogs for NOFASD Australia\, and is the adoptive parent of a 12-year-old son with FASD. Her mission is to empower others with FASD to lead change. \nMaggie May\, ALC FASD Changemakers\, Ireland\n \nMaggie May\, 28\, was diagnosed with FAS at age five while in foster care\, where she was raised. Born and based in Ireland\, she is a well-known FASD speaker and advocate. She moderates several online groups\, including the largest global support group for teens and adults with FASD\, and mentors youth with FASD in multiple countries. \nA member of the FASD Changemakers Adult Leadership Committee for five years\, Maggie works with FASD UK and serves on the expert advisory committee for a University of Rochester health app for adults with FASD. Her mission is to shift how FASD is viewed\, promote inclusive environments\, and empower others with FASD to find their voice and purpose.
