Part 4: Navigating Transitions in FASD

Most children with an FASD struggle with any type of transitions, but the most challenging one is transitioning into adulthood.  In this session, strategies for preparing our kids for adulthood will be discussed.  This is important even if you have young children, as the transition and preparation needs to start as early as possible.
