FASD Ireland

FASD Ireland FASD Ireland supports anyone with a connection to FASD, in a supportive environment. FASD Ireland will commit to remaining impartial of agencies.

FASD Ireland aims to be the 'go to' place for advice and support for anyone living with FASD across Ireland. It is our intention to provide a safe environment online for anyone to visit, to ask and answer questions, to find support and offer help to others. FASD Ireland actively encourages people to engage using Facebook and Twitter as a method of raising awareness. The site will remain totally co

nfidential and will not share personal stories or information without written permission. FASD Ireland would urge everyone living with FASD to make contact with their local TD and ask them to raise the lack of recognition and support at every opportunity in Dáil Éireann. It is the long term of FASD Ireland to gain central Government funding so that a National Hub can be established to provide support on a solid footing for everyone with FASD who needs support, when they need support.

✨ Teamwork, reflection, and big picture thinking at FASD Ireland ✨

As we head into the Bank Holiday weekend, our entire team came together to embrace a Theory of Change workshop, taking time to reflect, challenge ourselves, and strengthen how our work creates meaningful impact for individuals and families affected by FASD.

It was an energising and thoughtful full day session, reminding us of the power of shared vision, collaboration, and purpose. A huge thank you to the whole team for their openness, commitment, and willingness to lean into the process.

Also massive thanks to Dan Sissling, Strategist, Policy & Procedures Specialist for kindly volunteering his time and energy into delivering this session.

Now, time to recharge and enjoy a well‑earned break! Happy Bank Holiday from all of us at FASD Ireland!

Following the response to “The Hidden Disability”, we want to sincerely thank Clare FM for working with FASD Ireland to bring this important radio documentary to life.

By sharing the lived experiences of individuals, families, and professionals, this programme helped shine a light on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) - a lifelong, often misunderstood and hidden disability.

Awareness is the first step toward understanding, inclusion, and meaningful support.
Thank you to everyone who listened, shared, and continues to help amplify these vital conversations.

If you missed it, we encourage you to listen back and keep the conversation going: https://ow.ly/6sCR50Z2eBi

“FASD is not deemed to be a disability at this time.”

This statement has serious consequences.

Up to 381,000 people in Ireland are living with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Without formal recognition, individuals and families are denied access to essential supports, services, and understanding - despite international human rights obligations under the UNCRPD.

Until there is Government recognition, people with FASD and their families are left without the supports they need and deserve.
