FASD is a lifelong disability that affects individuals, their caregivers, and families on a daily basis. Individuals with FASD are aware of their disability and can be left feeling different and isolated, while caregivers have to negotiate the daily challenge of parenting a child with FASD. Despite these challenges, individuals with FASD have talents and qualities; raising a child with FASD can bring joy to both caregivers and families. Professionals feel unprepared and overwhelmed when supporting someone with FASD because of a lack of knowledge, funding, and support for individuals living with FASD.
