Learning all you can about FASD is just so important, and I don't think that you understand it once you've done a couple of things.
Imagine the challenges of raising a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). In this episode of 'Pregnancy and Alcohol: The Surprising Reality', host Kurt Lewis dives deep into the lives of those who care for children with FASD. Kurt sits down with Nikki Mortier and April Wilson, two dedicated caregivers who share their heartfelt experiences and the ups and downs of their journeys.
They discuss everything from the initial shock of diagnosis to the day-to-day hurdles like managing sensory processing issues and perseveration. But it's not all about the struggles; Nikki and April also highlight the moments of joy and pride they feel when their children make progress. The episode underscores the importance of understanding FASD, advocating for better industry practices, and supporting caregivers.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone wanting to learn more, this episode offers a raw and insightful look into the realities of living with FASD.
