Our FAScinating Journey and The Best I Can Be are virtual compendiums for the general public, professionals and families who come in contact, work with or live with persons affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). It should be required reading for undergraduates and graduate students planning to work in the education, social service, medical or legal service fields.
FASD affects over 45,000 newborns a year in the United States and is a permanent disability that is 100% preventable. Parents and professionals alike will enjoy these books as “Liz” a teen diagnosed at age 12 with FASD provides real-world examples of what life is like living with FASD. Her story and her insights into her disorder are enlightening, encouraging and engaging.
Both books are written in an easy to understand style without sacrificing content. Mrs. Kulp’s work captures not only the desperation parents of children with fetal alcohol related disorders experience, but the reality of our increasing knowledge of how to effectively intervene in these disorders to help an individual with FASD attain a more coherent, higher functioning lifestyle.
This book should be mandated to be on library shelves to provide hope and help for struggling families and professionals.
