The Fetal Alcohol Resource Program
When a child receives a diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), families often don’t know where to turn and struggle to find supports that are FASD informed. The Fetal Alcohol Resource Program exists to change this.
What makes the Fetal Alcohol Resource Program unique is there’s a team of us who respond to the individual needs of each child and family,” ~ Manon Kelso, FARP Program Manager
Social ABCs
The Social ABCs is an early intervention program for toddlers with diagnosed or suspected autism and those showing signs of delayed social communication. It is led by psychologist Dr. Jessica Brian who co-developed the program alongside psychologist Dr. Susan Bryson at Dalhousie University.
One of the goals of this research was to develop an intervention that could be implemented early on before an autism diagnosis was actually made, because we know that the earlier we intervene the better the outcome for both children and families,” ~ Dr. Jessica Brian.
Better Nights, Better Days
More than 85 per cent of children living with a brain-based disability struggle with sleep.
When a child isn’t sleeping, it can result in poor physical and mental health, as well as poor academic outcomes, not to mention the stress it adds to parents and caregivers who are already feeling overwhelmed,” ~ Dr. Shelly Weiss
