Ennis Young Adult With FASD Hails Impact Of Increased Awareness
A young adult from Ennis living with FASD claims increased awareness of the disorder has allowed him to greatly develop throughout his life.
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a condition developed during pregnancy caused by exposure to alcohol and can effect memory and learning.
FASD Ireland, who are based in Ennis, will hold an awareness event in the Buttermarket on September 9th and Director of Operations & Deputy CEO, Scott Casson Rennie’s adopted son Jacob lives with the condition.
Jacob has been telling Clare FM’s Morning Focus that growing up proved challenging without access to the level of support in place today.
