SUMMARY:RECORDING OF The Big 3: Lying\, Stealing and Raging (available 2/25/26-2/23/27)
DESCRIPTION:This is a special opportunity to view the recording at your convenience\, and available for purchase and viewing until midnight February 23\, 2027. \nChildren and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often at a mixture of developmental ages.  Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective and can lead to further trauma and impact the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents.  Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories which will help you to understand them better and improve communication and relationships.  The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma such as FASD and also for trauma they may have experienced after birth.  We will specifically cover the Big 3; lying\, stealing and raging. \nPresented by: Barb Clark \nBarb Clark is a down-to-earth trainer and coach known for her no-fluff honesty\, humor\, and ability to turn tough topics into opportunities for growth and connection. She has trained thousands across the U.S.\, Canada\, and beyond\, helping people understand challenging behaviors through compassion\, brain science\, and lived experience. A parent of five now-adult children\, including one with FASD—and having received her own FASD diagnosis at 56—Barb brings hard-earned insight to her work coaching parents and caregivers. Her first book\, Raising Kids and Teens with FASD\, was released October 21\, 2025. \nCost:  $39.00 to view the recording \nFor parents\, caregivers\, and professionals. \n  \n

SUMMARY:ALC of FASD Changemakers:  FASD and Communication:  How Hard Can It Be?  Lost in Transmission; Lost in Translation:  The “Transmislation Trap”
DESCRIPTION:Live Interactive Online Training offered on Zoom \nDate:  Tuesday\, March 17\, 2026Time:  1:00 – 3:00 pm EST\, 12-2pm Ct\, 11-1pm MT\, 10-12pm PSTCost:  FREE \nThere has been an adjustment to the name of this training.  It is now called:  FASD and Communication:  How Hard Can It Be? Lost in Transmission; Lost in Translation:  The “Transmislation Trap” \nTraining Description: \nIf the ALC could have one wish for those with FASD\, it would be that they talked only as well as they understood\, in which case the communication disability would be obvious.  Unfortunately\, this is not the case.  There are only a small handful of disorders (genetic or brain injury\, etc) in which receptive language is impaired while expressive language is good.  But FASD is not a genetic disorder; it is not a stroke; it is not a traumatic brain injury; and since 75% of people with FASD are not intellectually disabled\, this big problem that affects almost everyone with FASD\, regardless of intellectual level\, gets missed.  So why is this a missed problem in FASD?  What happens?  How does it happen?  What can be done about it?  Because humans who talk well are almost always assumed to understand well\, the kind of daily behavior that is affected in FASD is seen to be just that – “deliberate behavior”  and is the root of so very many problems.  But effective communication is a two-way process and only one part is in any way under any control of the person with FASD; the other part is completely within the control and power of the other person.  Even though it is said that 70% of all communication is non-verbal\, it is the 30% that is verbal communication\, both spoken and written\, that is so crucial to how we function.   If we want to have functional\, working communication\, in which messages are actually understood as intended\, we have to deal with that 30%. \nThe Florida Center for Early Childhood\, home to Florida’s only FASD Diagnostic Clinics\, located in Sarasota\, Orlando\, and the panhandle. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDifferentiate between expressive and receptive language challenges in individuals with FASD.\nRecognize signs of receptive language impairment that may be misinterpreted as intentional behavior.\nApply practical communication strategies to improve understanding and two-way verbal interactions.\n\nALC – FASD Changemakers \n The International Adult Leadership Collaborative (ALC) of FASD Changemakers is a well known group of citizen researchers and experts who each have diagnosed FASD. It is made up of 16 members. As a group\, they have experienced all the events commonly associated with FASD but have learned how to overcome obstacles\, maximize potential and re-define success. They use their combined living experience to work together as consultants\, advisors\, trainers\, presenters\, mentors\, group moderators\, bloggers\, and as research project team members for universities and national organizations\, centres and associations in several countries.   They have organized\, initiated\, designed\, developed and led full 3-day program conferences for teens and adults with FASD in both Vancouver and Seattle since 2014.  As well\, they develop and lead their own survey research\, which has received wide interest by researchers\, institutions\, organizations\, systems\, and government and is currently being used to help focus research directions and questions.  Their first survey on the health of 500 adults with diagnosed FASD was published in 2020\, and their second survey on the quality of life of 450 adults with diagnosed FASD was published in 2024.  A third Lay of the Land survey is currently in the initial stages of discussion. \nPresenters: \nCJ Lutke – CanadaCJ Lutke\, who is 41\, was diagnosed with full FAS at birth and adopted by her foster family at age five\, who had already adopted her older brother and sister who also have FASD.  She is a well-known speaker on FASD\, having presented at and participated in many conferences\, seminars\, training sessions and other events for over 20 years.  CJ is a systems changer and advocate\, provides advice and consultation and participates as an advisor and team member for different research projects.  She currently sits on various committees\, including one to make changes to the family court system in British Columbia (BC)\, chaired by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of BC\, and has just been asked to be on a research project on suicidality in those with FASD by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health\, the national centre in Canada.  She provides mentoring to younger adults with FASD and is the author of an on-line blog that is hosted by NOFASD Australia which is followed globally.  As well\, CJ has been a member of the Adult Leadership Collaborative (ALC) of FASD Changemakers for 15 year and was one of its founders.  She was the co-lead on their first ground-breaking Lay of the Land Survey on the health and physical issues of adults with diagnosed FASD that has received wide international attention and was published in 2020.  CJ was the lead author on their second Lay of the Land Survey on the Quality of Life of Adults with diagnosed FASD\, results of which have been presented widely including to NIAAA and were published in 2024.  As well\, CJ became an adoptive parent when she adopted her now 12-year-old son (with FASD) from foster care when he was seven. CJ believes that those with FASD must challenge perceptions about possibilities and outcomes\, find their purpose and change the future.  Her goal is to help others with FASD find their voice and to understand that we are greater when we work together. \nMaggie May – IrelandMaggie May\, who is 29 years old\, was diagnosed at the age of five with FAS in foster care\, where she grew up.  She was born in and has lived her entire life in Ireland.  She is a well-known speaker on FASD\, having presented widely\, moderates several on-line groups including the largest global online support group for teens and adults with FASD and provides online mentoring to teens with FASD in several countries.  Maggie  is a systems changed and advocate and has been a member of the ALC for 5 years.  She works for FASD UK.  She is currently an expert advisory committee member for the development of a health app for adults with FASD by the University of Rochester\, USA.  Maggie’s goal is to help audiences change the way they view FASD\, educate society to build environments for success\, and empower those with FASD to find their own voices\, purpose and the courage to be who they are and achieve what they want to do. \n
