Going through an assessment and learning your child has FASD is a very challenging process, but parents & carers also report benefits from finally understanding the cause of the difficulties.
Our thanks go to the remarkable families who gave their time and invited us into their homes, school and life. Their stories are testament to their hardwork, dedication, love and resilience in bringing up these children and young people.
We also acknowledge the expertise and professionalism of the health professionals who gave us their time to film in their clinics and offices.
