FASD - What's it all about?

I am asked to speak about FASD quite often, but I always feared that I didn't know enough to be able to share it with you all. So when Aily Brown from FASD Hub Scotland got in touch and offered to speak with me, I couldn't resit. 

 

Below are some links which I hope you will find helpful and are discussed within the episode.

Day 1 Training

Today I was delivering day one training for adopters. I thought I would break the episode down into two segments, first I speak about what I hope will happen during the training and then how it went.

Matching panel

A while back we did an episode on panel and what to expect, but Sandra got in touch and asked me to talk about Matching Panel and what to expect. It was so nice to be able to think back to our matching panel and the early days just before little dude joined us and changed everything and how that one meeting (obviously it was more) changed so much and made us even happier!!!!

Adopter Voice

I am really excited to tell you that I have been asked to join the Adoption UK team, in todays episode I am sharing my journey and what this will mean to me. I have also been asked to speak with my network and check in on how the adoption community has found the last year of virtual training and activities. 

 

You will hear all about it, but I have 3 questions for you: 

Have you accessed any virtual activities? If no, why? 

How have you found them? 

When do you want to get back to in person activities? 

 

Feel free to drop me your answers on our social media or email

My family

I promised that I would get Dad back on the podcast, but I am able to deliver twice as much fun on todays episode. 

 

I would love to tell you what we were talking about, but...it may be easier to just listen! :-)
