David, inadvertently began his intensive \u201chome study\u201d course on FASD when he and his wife became foster parents to two children with FASD. In 2000, he co-founded a charity (The FASD Community Circle \u2013 Victoria) to develop programs & services for those with FASD. The Circle set up the first children\u2019s then adult FASD assessment and diagnostic clinics on Vancouver Island. The Circle also provided monthly support groups for families (including those who identified as prenatally exposed). In the past 2 years he has also published 5 articles in four Irish education journals and is a consultant on a successful housing project for women with FASD, addictions and mental health challenges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Research Fellow, University of Salford, Manchester UK.<\/strong><\/p>

Alan Price has researched the impact of traumatic childhood experiences on cognitive and behavioural functioning in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). His four-year study found that the difficulties seen in children with FASD are similar with or without trauma, which suggests that prenatal alcohol exposure is the main driver behind those difficulties. Alan concluded that, although trauma should never be overlooked, children with both exposures may benefit more from services designed for FASD than services designed for trauma. This research has led to a new project, where Alan and his colleagues are developing a parent training programme designed specifically for FASD issues. He is also involved with a study to estimate the prevalence of FASD in the Greater Manchester area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

She was a UK Big Society Award winner in 2013 for her role as both a foster carer and her FASD initiative. She also gained a FASD Champion Award in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>

Maria also co-founded the FASD UK Alliance which aims to encourage FASD organisations to develop their support for families and to work together to promote awareness. She is keen to bring ongoing encouragement to groups and came to know the ENDpae cofounders through those links. Maria, is an ambassador for FASD and provides training, consultancy and advocacy services in order to raise awareness of the condition and to provide input about service and support requirements.
