This week, we preview our recently published paper highlighting FASD and the implications for those operating under the Risk-Need-Responsivity framework. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term used to describe a range of significant, neurodevelopmental, brain based disorders that result from prenatal alcohol exposure. FASD is a high prevalence, but under diagnosed group of disorders affecting individuals within the criminal justice system. Our article proposes a renewed focus on applying and adapting the RNR approach to individuals with FASD in criminal justice settings. Listen for a summary and some thought provoking insights!!!
