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.

Although I had previously been familiar with FAS and FAE, I didn’t really “get” FASD. Then I was blessed with the opportunity to meet Elizabeth and work closely with her Mom and with MOFAS, which opened many doors for me. In its collaboration with Minneapolis Public Schools, MOFAS funded my position initially so that I had the opportunity to continue my learning and understanding directly from students and families. There has been nothing more exciting and rewarding than creating “connections” that can help students be more successful at school. Thanks, MOFAS, for all that you do in communities throughout Minnesota!
