Raising a child with F.A.S.D. could present some serious challenges, and we believe that parents and caregivers have valuable insights into the needs of their children. Because each child with F.A.S.D. is unique, we can all learn from each other’s experiences. Sometimes when it seems there is no answer to a problem, another parent might offer some ideas, or suggestions that work!
Join us for informal get-togethers or meet with another parent individually.
