Upon discovering the FASD A Call to Action it was decided to use this as the new Day 85 of 99 Days. These recommendations can serve as an blueprint for community pillars of success. It is important to create a unified voice, but if your area does not have one yet, this is an example. … Continue reading FASD: Pillars of Success

FASD Life: To Share or Not to Share

May 20, 2018May 20, 20182 Comments

That is the dilemma in my head lately after reading a post from someone about why we should not share our children’s struggles in this age of social media without their permission. I understand the premise, however can a young child, especially one with a developmental disability, offer consent? Another post I read awhile back … Continue reading FASD Life: To Share or Not to Share

Today, on this 9th day of the 9th month at the 9th hour, International FASD Awareness Day, we are encouraged to stop, reflect on and share the message of no alcohol for nine months during pregnancy (049) to bring attention to the risks of prenatal exposure to alcohol.

Day 8 Red Shoes Rock: FASD Does NOT Define Us

September 8, 2017September 8, 2017Leave a comment

Today I was meant to be at a workshop by Jeff Noble (FASD  Forever). However my dog had to go to the vet unexpectedly. Instead thanks to technology and FB Live I was able to watch at home while wearing my red shoes, and keeping an eye on Franklin (the dog). I was disappointed I wasn't … Continue reading Day 8 Red Shoes Rock: FASD Does NOT Define Us

Day 7 Red Shoes Rock: Reflecting FASD

As anything develops over time, the language changes. Even over the four years I've written this blog, I notice my … Continue reading Day 7 Red Shoes Rock: Reflecting FASD

Day 6 of Red Shoes Rock: FASD Umbrella

September 6, 2017September 6, 2017Leave a comment

The obvious analogy is how Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is sometimes referred to as an umbrella term for the effects, or the diagnoses, such as in the illustration below. In Canada, FASD is no longer an … Continue reading Day 6 of Red Shoes Rock: FASD Umbrella
