FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
On this 21st episode of FASD Hope, Natalie Vecchione (podcast host) speaks with Jessica Rutherford and Clare Devanney-Glynn, creators and hosts of "Spotlight on FASD", the United Kingdom's first podcast dedicated to FASD. With facts and figures, real life stories and absolutely no shame or blame...Spotlight on FASD aims to shine a light on FASD and bring conversations out of the shadows. Jessica Rutherford is a final year PhD student and her research focuses on the development of educational interventions for children and young people with FASD, using creative arts practices. She discovered and became fascinated by FASD in the early months of her PhD and her interest has only grown since then. In addition to her academic experience, Jessica also worked at an FASD Camp in the United States. She is now NUDGE Education's FASD Intervention Expert.
Clare Devanney-Glynn is the mother of three teens with FASD. Clare has spent the last four years navigating the world of FASD and the previous decade navigating motherhood not knowing that she was even in the world of FASD. Clare sits on the very first NICE Quality Standards panel in the UK and she has a passion for all things FASD, Developmental Trauma and Adoption. She discovered very quickly that she needed to become her children's FASD expert and has since continued her mission in parent advocacy.
During this lively and engaging discussion, Jessica and Clare share the following with Natalie: their lived / professional experiences in the FASD Community in the UK, when they respectively became FASD advocates, the development and mission of the Spotlight on FASD podcast (and hopes for the future), their call to action for more FASD Podcasts around the globe, what they both enjoy about podcasting and words of hope for those individuals (and their families / loved ones) who may be in the dark places of their journeys in FASD.
