It's Everywhere

I have taken a new job at a charter school. This is the first time I have worked in a non-tribal school since I began my career. I have enjoyed the first couple of weeks and look forward to the day the students come to the school.

In the two weeks I have been here, I have seen evidence of the FASD epidemic. Just today, I interviewed a candidate for a position. This candidate spoke candidly about her adopted children and their disabilities. All the red flags were there. Another person identified FASD as the root cause of her adopted child after years of struggling with his disabilities. She will have to continue with the struggles, but now she has information that will help her understand her son.

I know I will have an impact bringing a higher level of understanding of the victims of FASD.
