ADAI Webinar: Executive Function and Communication in Early Adulthood in the Context of FASD: Family Perspectives (May 28, 12pm PT)
05/05/2026
Join ADAI and Sara Kover, PhD, of the UW Department of Speech & Hearing Sciences, for our May Lunch & Learn webinar.
This presentation will explore preliminary findings from a project designed to understand the values and experiences of individuals with FASD and their families during a critical time period in life – the transition from schooling to adulthood. Through survey responses and semi-structured individual interviews, family members of adults with FASD shared their perspectives on two intertwined domains: executive function and communication.
Insights will be presented regarding the nature of executive function and communication strengths and challenges, values and priorities in the family unit and in other settings (e.g., vocational), and desired services.
By centering lived experience, this research seeks to inform future person- and family-centered supports for individuals with FASD and their families.
