Synopsis:
This unique book has been written for those parenting children / young people with FASD (Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) by Dr Mary Mather, widely regarded as one of the UK's foremost medical experts on FASD and Julia Brown, CEO of The FASD Trust, the UK's leading charity in this field. Julia and her husband are parents of two children with FASD and she brings her practical, real life knowledge of strategies that are helpful on a daily basis, alongside Dr Mather's medical expertise explaining the reasons behind the child's behaviour and responses. Whilst this book is a must for any parent or carer with a child affected by FASD, it will also be of value to professionals particularly in social work, mental health and counselling / therapy who are supporting families affected by FASD.
About the Author: Dr Mary Mather is a retired Community Paediatric Consultant with a special interest in FASD. She served as chair of the BAAF Health Advisory Panel for 5 year, wrote the text book, "Doctors for Children in Care" and is currently a Trustee of The FASD Trust.

She and her husband, Simon, started The FASD Trust to provide support for other parents of children with FASD. Julia writes and lectures widely on FASD, particularly its impact on family life and on professional practice. She and her family live in Oxfordshire.
