Each year, September 9th is International FASD Awareness Day. Now in its 20th year, the day aims to raise awareness of the condition and ensure pathways to treatment are available.
Louise Gray, CEO of NOFASD Australia speaks to Small Change‘s Bonnie Parker about the impact it can have on individuals and families, as well as the importance of language use around the condition.
