Episode 1: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

When Doug and Gloria Stewart adopted Chip and Alex they knew they were committed to a lifelong process of overcoming a serious but avoidable disability: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. Their hard work is paying off, but as speech pathologist Donnell Houx explains, schools are discovering it's difficult to identify, let alone aid, kids with FASD.

Studio panelists include:
  • Cheri Scott, a parent of an FASD child, and with the Stone Soup Group, Anchorage.
  • Dr. Tom Nighswander, Alaska Native Medical Center; FASD office statewide steering committee.
  • Katherine Gottlieb, President /CEO, Southcentral Foundation.
