SUMMARY:How to Support Families Raising Children with FASD
DESCRIPTION:When a child has a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)\, the impact extends far beyond parents and caregivers. Grandparents\, aunts\, uncles\, siblings\, family friends\, and community members often want to help but may struggle to understand why traditional parenting approaches do not seem to work or why families make certain decisions or why caregivers sometimes appear overwhelmed\, anxious\, frustrated\, or emotionally exhausted. \nThis webinar provides a practical introduction to FASD\, helping participants understand how prenatal alcohol exposure affects brain development\, behavior\, learning\, memory\, emotional regulation\, and daily functioning. Participants will gain insight into the realities of raising a child with an invisible brain injury and learn why many common assumptions about behavior can lead to misunderstanding and judgment. \nParticipants will also explore the often-unseen impact FASD has on caregivers and family systems. Raising a child with FASD frequently requires coordinating across educational\, medical\, mental health\, disability\, and social service systems while continually advocating for supports that may be difficult to access. Over time\, these demands can contribute to chronic stress\, caregiver fatigue\, strained relationships\, social isolation\, and emotional exhaustion. Understanding these realities can help family members and friends respond with empathy rather than assumptions about what families “should” be doing. \nMost importantly\, attendees will discover meaningful ways to support loved ones affected by FASD. Through real-life examples and practical suggestions\, participants will learn how to become part of a family’s support system\, strengthen relationships\, reduce isolation\, and provide support that is grounded in understanding\, empathy\, and realistic expectations.

SUMMARY:Change the Environment\, Transform the Outcome:  Supportive Strategies for Growth and Success in Neurodiverse Kids\, Teens and Young Adults
DESCRIPTION:Grounded in decades of combined lived experience raising children with FASD into young adulthood and years of professional training\, coaching\, mentoring\, and conferences\, this training offers a practical\, compassionate look at what truly supports neurodiverse children and the caregivers who love them. Participants will explore how the emotional and sensory atmosphere of the home influences behavior\, including the surprising impact of walls\, kitchens\, and visual spaces on regulation. Through real-life examples and FASD-informed strategies\, presenters will guide attendees from “won’t” to “can’t\,” helping caregivers and professionals reduce conflict\, increase understanding\, and create calmer homes and community settings through intentional planning and realistic expectations. \n
