This week we talk about a topic that is an integral part of living with FASD - Sensory needs. We start to explore exactly what that means and how it impacts those with FASD and the people supporting them.

In this week's episode we open up the conversation around this very tricky aspect of living with FASD. So many parents, carers, teachers and other professionals really struggle with what feels like being lied to, we talk about what it really is and how we make the adjustments required to handle it. With Clare Devanney Glynn and Jessica Rutherford.

Martin talks to us about how learning about FASDs and what they are, changed his professional practice and his life.
