Very Good! by fasdaware (Nebraska)  5 Stars
January 10, 2008
This is a great video. It explains what you are dealing with and that these are great kids, but just do things differently. Goes with the "Student like me" video. A must have!

Excellent DVD by Jennifer Sinclair (Ayer, MA) 5 Stars
January 12, 2007
This DVD is very educational and is different than reading about FAS, because you feel "close" to the families who participated in the DVD by watching their interactions; many useful tips.

A Great Resource For Families by Michael Baldwin (Anchorage, AK) 5 Stars
April 18, 2006
This is one of two video's in a series about children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This video is very useful to parents and caregivers of individuals with FAS/FASD and who are also in need of some good basic information and education about the issues they face. It also lets parents and caregivers know that there are other parents and caregivers who are going through the same experiences. This video is given to the parents and caregivers of children with FAS/FASD that are evaluated by our clinic. Definitely recommended!
