Living with FASD is an educational and human interest show for those living with the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, their loved one and anyone interested in learning more about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, brought to you by someone with both professional and living experience with FASD.

In this enlightening episode of Living with FASD, host Patti Kasper sits down with Jody Allen Crowe, a retired educator and expert in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). They discuss a groundbreaking model for understanding FASD, which categorizes the spectrum into six distinct stages. Jody shares his personal journey and professional insights, detailing how this new framework can help educators, families, and medical professionals better understand and support individuals affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. Listen in to learn how this model can provide clarity and reduce stigma, offering a more comprehensive approach to diagnosing and supporting those with FASD.
