Welcome to FASD Family Life, the podcast for families by families raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am you host, Robbie Seale. I am an FASD educator, advocate and mother of five children, four with FASD with more than 20 years experience. I know the struggle is real and so is success.
Whether this is your first episode or your 34th I invite you to settle in with a nice hot cup of coffee as we hear from my special guest Jerrod Brown, PhD and I as we discuss Abstract Reasoning, a hallmark deficit for individuals with FASD, as well as strategies to build skills and improve outcomes.
Jerrod Brown is an assistant professor for Concordia University in St. Paul Minnesota and has extensive experience teaching courses at the graduate and undergraduate level. Jerrod also works at the Pathways Counselling Centre in St. Paul. Is the founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies and the Editor-if-Chief of Forensic Scholars Today. I am proud to say that Jerrod is also a friend of FASD Family Life podcast and will be a regular guest on the show. Our last conversation with Dr. Brown, on October 8, centered on Caregiver Stress. Today Jerrod will help us understand Abstract Reasoning; its role in decision making, flexible thinking, cognitive flexibility and more. I know you will want to get a pen and note book for this episode as Dr. Jerrod Brown takes us to school.
