It can be difficult to know when or how to talk to a person with FASD about their disability. In this podcast, we start a conversation that is only our perspective: tell us what *you* think! We also provide ideas on talking about FASD with family members, friends, and community members.

The neurobehavior model of challenging behavior is a new way to interpret behaviors. In this episode, Jill talks about how shifting her thinking has helped her family understand behaviors. 

Please read Diane Malbin's book, "Trying Differently Rather Than Harder"! You can find out more about the neurobehavioral model at her website, www.fascets.org. A list of Fascets workshops can be found here.
