SUMMARY:Adult Leadership Collaborative of FASD Changemakers: Lay of the Land Survey #2 Quality of Life Survey in 460+ Adults with FASD
DESCRIPTION:Do not miss this opportunity to hear from the Adult Leadership Collaborative members CJ Lutke\, Maggie May\, and Katrina Griffin as they present the results of “Lay of the Land Survey #2 Quality of Life Survey in 460+ Adults with FASD”. \nIn 2019\, the ALC did its second Lay of the Land Survey on the quality of life of teens and adults with FASD because they believed there was a significant problem in this area\, and that no data existed on the lives of those with FASD in adulthood.  This workshop will provide the results of this survey which was completed in 2020.   Using the same format as in Survey #1\, the survey was designed and developed by the ALC\, with questions the ALC knew were important to answer.  It includes information on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and something they developed and call Adverse Continuing Experiences in Adulthood or ACES-A.\, housing\, homelessness\, parenting\, relationships\, education\, employment\, finances\, victimization\, etc.  The results on 461 adults have been widely presented\, including to NIAAA.

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.

SUMMARY:FASD: Considerations for Criminal Justice Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Understanding FASD and Recommendations for Criminal Justice Considerations. \nThis webinar will focus on a short history and explanation related to the overall spectrum attributed to fetal alcohol disorders. It will touch briefly upon recognition of ‘red flags’ and will touch upon what is considered and necessary in relation to a diagnosis. Focusing on how impactful FASD is on the justice system as a whole\, and what tends to differentiate FASD from other intellectual disabilities\, tips of the trade and considerations related to policing\, corrections\, the courts\, and probation/parole will be introduced with a heavy emphasis on recommendations of the American Bar Association (ABA) stemming from their standing resolution in regard to Fetal Alcohol.  Key takeaways:  \n\nBasic understanding of what FASD is\, how it is diagnosed\, and supports needed.\nConsiderations law enforcement personnel should include during investigations with individuals affected by FASD.\nGuidance for corrections personel in establishing communication and routines for FASD affected individuals.\nProvide court personnel an awareness and understanding of FASD to take into account during sentencing for rehabilitation.\n\nPresented by:  Captain Holloman has been with the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) since March of 1995. He has certifications in internal affairs\, CALEA/APCO accreditation management\, field training\, traffic crash reconstruction\, computer forensics\, crime analysis\, and homicide investigations. He holds a Master of Criminal Justice degree from Boston University and his undergraduate studies were completed at Ball State University where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice & Criminology. For fifteen (15) years\, he was an adjunct faculty member in the Criminal Justice Department at Indiana Tech.  On a personal note\, Captain Holloman is the father of a son who is on the fetal alcohol spectrum and as a result he is passionate about the need to educate others about the supports necessary for those on the spectrum to have the ability to succeed in life. By recognizing the needs of those on the spectrum\, through both personal and professional experiences\, Captain Holloman seeks out ways to educate those willing to listen on what an affected person needs and why so that the lessons he and his son had to learn over the course of fifteen undiagnosed years can be used in the hopes of improving the life potential of others like his son.

SUMMARY:FASD Changemakers: Their Journey and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Challenges and Changes:  The Story of How the FASD Changmakers Came to Be and Do What They Do”\nTwenty years ago\, two adults with FASD came together to challenge the system’s status quo.  They decided to do something no one really thought people with FASD could do – change the message because if they didn’t …. who would?  Because it is what you DO with your experience that changes things… NOT the experience itself.  Today\, they number 16 core leadership members in what is now the Adult Leadership Collaborative (ALC) of FASD Changemakers and lead the work that is changing the direction and thinking in the field of FASD.  As they say\, “FASD is an origin story; it is NOT a destination.” So\, this is the story of how it all came to be\, what are the lessons learned\, how does it work\, and like all those stories thought to be fairy tales\, begins with “Once Upon a Time”….  Presenters are Adult Leadership Committee (ALC) FASD Changemakers CJ Lutke from Vancouver\, and Maggie May from Ireland.

SUMMARY:Tackling Technology: Navigating Safety for Neurodiverse Kids in the Digital World
DESCRIPTION:Learn strategies to help neurodiverse and trauma-affected children navigate online safety and digital challenges.\nWho else misses the days before parenting came with digital dilemmas?  Technology safety is a concern for all families\, but even more so for those raising children with trauma histories or neurodiverse needs.  These children may be more vulnerable to the risks of the online world\, including overstimulation\, unsafe interactions\, and difficulty with boundaries.  In this session\, we’ll explore why digital spaces can be especially tricky for these kids and provide caregivers with practical\, effective strategies to support online safety\, healthy tech habits\, and open communication.  Learning Objectives: Gain insight into why children with trauma histories or neurodiversity often face greater difficulties with technology.  Learn effective strategies to enhance online safety for children. Develop techniques for having meaningful and constructive conversations with children about technology use.  Presenter:  Barb Clark is the Director of Training at Families Rising and head coach of the International FASD Caregiver Kickstart program.  She is the parent of five young children\, including one diagnosed with FASD.  In April 2025\, Barb herself was also diagnosed with FASD\, bringing personal insight and authenticity to her work.  Barb specializes in training and coaching on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)\, with a focus on challenging behaviours such as raging\, lying\, and stealing.  Her presentations blend practical strategies with humor\, honesty\, and lived experience.  A graduate of the University of Minnesota in Youth Development\, Barb is passionate about changing systems and shifting mindsets.  Her first book\, Raising Kinds and Teens with FASD: Advice and Strategies to Help Your Family Thrive\, will be published on October 21\, 2025.

SUMMARY:FASCETS Center for Neurodiversity TRAINING: Brain-Based Conditions Including FASD
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 our upcoming trainings\, 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 our 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:Growing with Care: FASD in Early Learning Environments
DESCRIPTION:This training introduces participants to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and its complex effects on young children.  Through real-life examples and practical strategies\, we’ll explore how FASD impacts learning\, behavior\, and social-emotional development and how early childhood environments can be adapted to better meet the needs of affected children.  With a strong focus on understanding\, compassion\, and inclusion\, this session empowers participants to shift from managing behaviors to supporting brain-based needs. FASD is often misunderstood\, yet it affects more children than many other developmental disorders.  In early learning settings\, children with FASD may struggle with behaviors that are misinterpreted as oppositional or inattentive\, when in reality they are signals of an underlying brain-based disability.  By gaining a deeper understanding and adopting proven strategies\, professionals can improve classroom dynamics\, build stronger relationships\, and promote better long-term outcomes for children with FASD.  Creating environments that work with a child’s brain rather than against it is not only possible\, it’s essential.
