Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), S3 Ep2
Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
FASD can affect how children learn, communicate, remember information, manage emotions, and navigate everyday life. Yet these challenges aren’t always recognized as being connected to prenatal alcohol exposure.
In Season 3, Episode 2 of Let’s Talk About It With OhioGuidestone, Brianna Megyesi, MSW, LISW-S, brings her expertise from OhioGuidestone’s Center for FASD to help listeners better understand fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and the experiences of children and families impacted by it.
Brianna discusses what FASD is, how prenatal alcohol exposure can affect brain development and behavior, and why understanding is an important first step toward support.
Understanding fetal alcohol spectrum disorder means looking beyond behaviors to consider what a child may be experiencing and what support they need.
This conversation focuses on the importance of meeting children and families where they are, advocating for their needs
