Because of the devastating statistics our children face,we along with some other caring people, created HaysKids, a non-profit organization.Our heart’s desire is to help individuals with Fetal Alcohol, their families, and caregivers.This E-workbook is an attempt to do that.Reading our E-Book, “Pathways to Success” will help you understand and prepare youto facilitate this workbook. It can be found atwww.hayskids.com; it is written for parentsand caregivers. The first 14 chapters plus the conclusion corresponds with the lessonsin this workbook.The goals of this workbook are to:
•
Help demystify Fetal Alcohol. Knowledge can help a person to not bediscouraged, to be patient, and to have hope for their future
•
Teach the person about Fetal Alcohol, much as you would teach someone withdiabetes about their disease
•
Raise self awareness of the how Fetal Alcohol has affected the person doing thisworkbook and how it will affect them in the future
