Description
For parents and carers of children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), a comprehensive guide to understanding and supporting their child's needs has never been more important.
Written by Julia Brown, CEO of The FASD Trust, and Dr Mary Mather, a leading medical expert on FASD, this book offers a unique blend of practical advice and medical expertise. The authors share their own experiences as parents of children with FASD, drawing on their knowledge of strategies that work in everyday life, alongside Dr Mather's in-depth explanation of the underlying causes of the child's behaviour and responses.
Valuable not just for parents and carers, but also for professionals working with families affected by FASD, including social workers, mental health professionals and counsellors/therapists, this book provides a vital resource for anyone seeking to support a child with an invisible disability.
