94. Navigating FASD with Sandra Flach
Manage episode 498208734 series 3526220
This week, we’re talking with Sandra Flach, mom of 8 (5 through adoption), advocate for foster and adoptive families, and someone who knows firsthand what it’s like to parent kids with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Two of Sandra’s children are diagnosed with FASD, and she’s passionate about helping other parents understand and navigate this journey.
Sandra shares her own parenting story, why so many kids are misdiagnosed, and the surprising fact that 1 in 20 school-aged children are impacted by FASD—more than autism. She’s all about giving parents the tools and encouragement they need, and you’ll walk away from this conversation with so many practical insights.
Sandra will be speaking at our upcoming FASD workshop. You won’t want to miss it. Make sure to register for the workshop using the link below.
