Persons with FASD have a brain damage caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Most of these individuals can be easily influenced by their peers and they keep getting in trouble. The reason for them being repeated offenders is that they do not understand consequences of their behavior.
www.cadfp.org made the below video that can be used at corrections facilities, social service agencies, courts, schools, and other public and private service agencies.

SO GREAT to see this here!!! We made this video several years ago, and I am just delighted that you found it and are putting it back into circulation!!!
(I imagine you saw that there were some other videos as well on the same site. The first one has footage of a women’s treatment center, and a kiddo we were able to diagnose with FASD..not to mention a younger version of yours truly.)
You guys in Edmonton are a wonderful example for the rest of us to follow–big thanks for all your excellent work!
Yes, we did see other useful and relevant FASD videos. Hopefully we will blog about them in the near futures. Thank you for following our blog.
