Editorial Reviews

Review

Our FAScinating Journey provides a wealth of knowledge and practical experience for helping youth with prenatal brain injury. -- Susan Carlson, Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Forner First Lady Minnesota, February 2002

Parents and providers alike will enjoy this enlightening book -- Teresa Kellerman, Director, FAS community Resource Center, February 2002

From the Publisher

In 1999, at age twelve, Liz was diagnosed with FAE - permanent neurological brain damage due to prenatal exposure to alcohol. For her family, it was the answer to many unanswered questions regarding her behavior and abilities. For Liz, it was an opportunity to began to learn to cope with her disability instead of believing she was "bad."

Liz takes you on her journey as a young teen through the murk and mire of misunderstandings and confusion. Through the distortions and discombobulation of living with a miswired brain and a compromised body in a covering of flesh that looks like nothing is wrong. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAScinating Journey- a Guidebook, February 19, 2006
By 
Kari (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
Jodee Kulp's book "Our FAScinating Journey" is a wonderful resource for every family that is touched by FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders has been around as long as alcohol has, but as an identified syndrome it is really in its infancy. There are not well worn paths that parents like me can follow and I appreciate the great lengths that Jodee went to in documenting the various therapies, strategies and teaching methods that they used in their home.

The second page of the books states, "Karl, Liz and I cannot give you answers for the person you love with prenatal brain injury. Every person is different. We can, however, share with you our journey." Their journey made a path where there was none and I am thankful for that.

This book should not be viewed as a "one time read" but rather as a resource manual that may be read in parts and reviewed as needed. It may be that a family implements only a few of the ideas in the book and I believe that, given the layout of the book, it was the author's intent to give the reader that choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Practical Guide to Raising a Child with FAS, June 17, 2004

This review is from: Our FAScinating Journey: Keys to Brain Potential Along the Path of Prenatal Brain Injury, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is one of the most practical guides to therapies and treatments for FAS. There are references for physical therapies, sensory therapies and food allergies. Jodee and her daughter have tried to collect all their experiences to make them available to other families so that they do not hve to "reinvent the wheel". The companion book, *All That I Can Be* by Liz Kulp is perfect for teenagers who want to know what FAS is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars A One-Stop-Shop for Caregivers of FASD Children, July 16, 2003
By 
Susan Rose (Flushing, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Our FAScinating Journey, by Jodee Kulp, is an essential reference guide for anyone raising an FASD child. It is a well-written 'one-stop-shop' for parents and caregivers which provides detailed slutions to the everyday problems that families face a a result of FASD.

Parents of FASD children usually spend thusands of dollars and hours on ineffective therapies and strategies. At #39.95, this book is a bargain. Considerng that Our FAScinating Journey is also a success story, this is a must read.
