Helping People with FASD Process What We Are Saying (First Steps)

One of the more difficult things to remember when supporting a person with FASD is that they are almost certainly having difficulty understanding and remembering what you are saying. This video talks about why this is, and gives caregivers some basic first-steps in creating effective interactions.

Thank you so very much for these videos. I am in Australia and my son has FASD. We unfortunately have an extremely limited number of clinicians in this field and waiting lists are up to 2 years long. The NOFASD folks do an incredible job but it's really still in it's infancy. I'm already putting some of the strategies I've seen into place with promising results. These videos are a lifeline to both myself and my Son.

Thank you for your kind comment, Angelene! I hope to get to Australia after my book is released!

This is very helpful! I work at a group home with mainly young adults who have FASD. Every tool that I can get that will help them is appreciated. :)

Very helpful. My 9 years old son has serious memory issues. He has LD, trauma and ADHD. We saw many doctors, therapists and social workers but still do not know how to communicate with him. He wears pull-ups and doesn't understand about Covid-19 and how to prevent it..... He constantly breaks furniture while he is playing them. We feel we are lost.

I love your videos. Do you have any links to visual charts I could print or buy ? (Basic things like hygiene )

Your information is amazing, but being not a native in english, it would be awesome if you would breath, between the sentences.

I think you can slow down the video also to help give you more time. Also, you might can open transcripts/add translation. :)
