FASD help

[nadruss]

My name is Nadine, Im currently taking a FASD certificate program at lethbridge college in lethbridge alberta. Im looking for someone who could answer some questions for a assignment that is a parent or care giver of a child with FASD. i have no one in my community to ask as i dont know anyone here who has children with FASD. if you could help me that would be wonderful!

Hi Nadine, I would be happy to help. I am the adoptive parent of a 10 year old girl who has FASD. She has been living with us since she was 14 months old. Would she be suitable? I would also be very interested to hear about your course and how FASD is treated in Canada.

Many thanks

Sarah

Hi Nadine I would like to help if I can. I am a foster carer of a 5 year old boy with FAS. I have been his carer for 2 and a half years.

Hi Lee

I just wondered if you could tell me what the NB approach is please? Not something I've heard of in the UK.

Many thanks

Sarah
