Two Decades Of Diapers

Two Decades Of Diapers describes a grandmother's twenty year experience raising four grandchildren with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder covers the full range of permanent birth defects caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol which are: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS); Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS); Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopment Disorder (ARND), and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD). According to health information, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the most severe form of FASD. Apart from the physical signs of FAS, significant traits associated with this brain damage are, poor memory, the inability to plan or process directions, a struggle with reasoning, and reduced judgment and assessment capabilities.

Medical information aside, as full-time, sole caregiver to her grandchildren, Barbara Studham's concern was: how to cope with the severe behaviors associated with their FAS. In her book: Two Decades Of Diapers, readers will read of the challenges, struggles and shattered hopes she experienced while determined to maintain her family unit.
