Sorry folks, but I have laryngitis this week. Tune in next Wednesday for the next installment of the FASD Elephant Podcast. In the meantime, I found an interesting website from Germany that has an animated FAS Facial Feature program, in which you can manipulate the various FAS Facial Features and visually compare them to an unaffected face. The program also allows for other facial features that are sometimes common to FASD, but not diagnostic. The website link is: http://www.fasworld.de/index.htm, and the main website (mostly in German) is http://www.fasworld.de (look for the "Baby Face Animation" link toward the bottom of the page). Also, I am sending though a PDF File of the FASD Evaluation Checklist discussed in last week's podcast #009 (September 19, 2007). |

Thinking about obtaining an FASD Evaluation? Today's podcast talks about how to prepare for one. These evaluations often have long waiting lists and take just as long to complete. Here is a guide on how you can prepare for an evaluation, make it as thorough as possible, and hopefully speed the process up a bit.

Today's podcast reviews the Ten Brain Domains of FAS and FASD in a little more depth; it is still an overview but gives more flesh to the domains in the context of completing an FASD Wheel. This is the third of a multi-part series edited from a workshop on the FASD Wheel (TM) presented at the 2007 Brain Conference on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Mahnomen, MN... one of the largest annual conferences held in Minnesota.
