Habilitation & FASD: Reading the Body to Build the Brain, Pt 1

In this engaging episode of Living with FASD, host Patti Kasper welcomes back Jodee Kulp, and Antonia Rathbun Lindsay, as they dive into the inaugural installment of their new sub-series, "Meliorist Mondays." Together, they explore the intricate landscape of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) through their collective experiences and insights.
The conversation centers around the neurological implications of FASD, emphasizing the need for a developmental approach rather than a purely psychological one. Jodee shares her inspiring journey with her daughter Liz, detailing the challenges they faced and the innovative strategies they employed to support her learning and development. From the significance of proper nutrition to the importance of addressing foundational reflexes, the discussion highlights the multifaceted nature of FASD and the necessity for tailored interventions.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the concept of habilitation versus rehabilitation, as the team unpacks the complexities of working with individuals affected by FASD. The episode also touches on the importance of curiosity and collaboration among caregivers and professionals in fostering meaningful progress.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the lived experiences of those with FASD and the power of community in driving positive change. Join Patti and her guests as they navigate these candid conversations and share their passion for supporting individuals with FASD.
