Having not received an FASD diagnosis until his late forties, RJ Formanek was startled to find how many of the strategies he had used throughout life were a result of FASD. In this webinar, RJ Formanek will share his experiences on how FASD affects the people who have it and how it impacts the world around them. You will learn about brain functions and how they may look in day-to-day life for an individual with FASD, along with some of the challenges and strategies that are helpful educational tools for families and caregivers to understand, see, and think differently about FASD.
