Our FASD Stories

At MOFAS families are the inspiration behind what we do each day. The stories of families living with FASD motivate us just as they motivate, teach and inspire other families, health care and education professionals, legislators, law enforcement and judicial workers, and other members of our communities.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are often called “the invisible disability”. If you would like to add your family to our visible network of families living with FASD, please consider posting your story here. You must be a registered MOFAS Virtual Family Center member to submit a story.

“MOFAS has connected me with parents and professionals in Minnesota that share my interests in helping children with FASD. As a University of Minnesota researcher interested in the effects of alcohol on brain development and the treatment of FASD, being connected to the larger community has been critical to me and has helped keep my research appropriately grounded. My connections with MOFAS and with the larger Minnesota community remind me to focus my research efforts on “real” science for real people.”
