SUMMARY:RECORDING OF The Difference Between Autism and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
DESCRIPTION:This is a special opportunity to view the recording at your convenience\, and available for purchase for $39.00.  This service is not automated\, and will be forwarded during business hours. \nThis one-hour presentation will discuss the similarities and differences between Autism and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (ASD/FASD). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) cover various conditions caused by moms drinking alcohol during pregnancy\, leading to changes in the body and brain. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex brain-related condition. Some experts think that when moms drink during pregnancy\, it might raise the chances of their child having ASD\, especially if there’s a family history. This review aims to break down the research on the possible connection between FASD and ASD. Studies in this area have given mixed results\, showing both similarities and differences between the two conditions. What’s interesting is that both disorders often get misunderstood or not recognized enough. So\, it’s crucial to look beyond the obvious signs and pay attention to subtler traits and less severe cases. \nObjectives: \n\nBetter understanding of similarities and differences between FASD and ASD\nAble to identify at least four similarities/differences in social behaviors in FASD and ASD.\nLearn different teaching methods for working with students with ASD/FASD.\n\nPresented By Kathryn Shea\, LCSW\, FASD United Board MemberOver 40 years of experience in the field\, and has a son Seth\, who is 35 years of age who they received very shortly after birth.

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
