FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over nineteen years of lived experience.
Episode 74 features Dr. Jeffrey Wozniak - Professor, Division Director of Behavioral Sciences and Pediatric Neuropsychologist at the University of Minnesota. His research is focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) and he directs the University of Minnesota's FASD Research Program which conducts neuroimaging, neurocognitive and intervention studies in FASD. He is a past-president of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Study Group (FASDRG). His current research is part of the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD). Dr. Wozniak's recent efforts have included a randomized controlled trial of choline supplementation in children with FASD - the goal of which is to develop a treatment for the neurodevelopmental aspects of the disorder. Dr. Wozniak is involved in advocacy and his team work closely with the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) and the Minnesota Chapter - Proof Alliance - to inform the public about the dangers of prenatal alcohol exposure and to train professionals in diagnosing and assisting affected individuals.
In this HIGHLY INFORMATIVE episode, Dr. Wozniak explores the following topics: his professional history (and what led him to his research and work with the FASD population), the significant clinical developments in FASD research that parents and caregivers should know, the focus of his FASD research and advocacy work for the rest of 2021, what he has learned from parents of children with FASD and his words of encouragement and hope for individuals with FASD and their families.
