New Podcast – FASD: A Guide for Occupational Therapists

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new podcast, “FASD: A Guide for Occupational Therapists”.

Occupational Therapy can play a life-changing role in supporting children and young people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) – yet many families and professionals don’t fully understand what that support looks like in practice.

In this podcast episode, we bring together Occupational Therapy specialists and parents with lived experience to explore practical, everyday strategies that can make a real difference. From sensory integration and task breakdown to reducing shame and building self-confidence, the conversation highlights the full breadth of the OT “toolbox” and how it can support better outcomes for children and families.

Whether you’re a health or education professional, a parent or carer, or simply want to better understand FASD, this episode offers powerful insight and real-world advice.
