FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over nineteen years of lived experience.    Episode 74 features Dr. Jeffrey Wozniak - Professor, Division Director of Behavioral Sciences and  Pediatric Neuropsychologist at the University of Minnesota. His research is focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) and he directs the University of Minnesota's FASD Research Program which conducts neuroimaging, neurocognitive and intervention studies in FASD. He is a past-president of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Study Group (FASDRG). His current research is part of the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD). Dr. Wozniak's recent efforts have included a randomized controlled trial of choline supplementation in children with FASD - the goal of which is to develop a treatment for the neurodevelopmental aspects of the disorder. Dr. Wozniak is involved in advocacy and his team work closely with the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) and the Minnesota Chapter - Proof Alliance - to inform the public about the dangers of prenatal alcohol exposure and to train professionals in diagnosing and assisting affected individuals.   In this HIGHLY INFORMATIVE episode, Dr. Wozniak explores the following topics: his professional history (and what led him to his research and work with the FASD population), the significant clinical developments in FASD research that parents and caregivers should know, the focus of his FASD research and advocacy work for the rest of 2021, what he has learned from parents of children with FASD and his words of encouragement and hope for individuals with FASD and their families.

74 - Development is Lifelong - A Conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Wozniak

The timing of this podcast with Dr. Jeffrey Wozniak could not have been better. Little did I know a media story would appear two days before this podcast release, about the four year follow up study he and his team completed on choline for children with Fetal Alcohol. And boy did our group explode with posts and parents wanting to purchase or order.See that’s the thing with headlines, and announcements of new therapy and treatments – they are meant to grab your attention and emotion. My job is to save you some time, money, and further heartache by going directly to the source and getting the relevant information without the emotion. Choline does have benefits, but you need to know what those are and what target population it works best for.So, who is Dr. Wozniak?He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Kent State University in 1997, and a post-doctoral fellowship in Pediatric Neuropsychology at the University of Minnesota in 1999. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology. He also runs the Child and Adolescent Neuropsychology Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota and trains graduate students and clinical psychology interns in the practice of clinical neuropsychology.Dr. Wozniak's primary research interest is in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). He co-directs the University's FASD Program. Dr. Wozniak's research group is part of the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD). I don’t know about you, but I much prefer to get my information directly from the source. Which is exactly what you will hear in this podcast:What choline is, why it’s important, and where it's found naturally;The ins and outs of a scientific study;Results of the first 9-month choline study, the four year follow up and plans for future studies;Advice to women who are pregnant and have had alcohol; Answers to questions from our FASD Caregiver Success Facebook Group and myth-busting.This is foundational.  It is an effective intervention in early life but it is not a treatment we expect to see a dramatic result the week you start administering it.As a bonus, Dr. Wozniak gives his thoughts and advice on FASD and MRIs, QEEGs, and Neuro or Biofeedback Therapy. This is an important podcast to listen to.  I am not trying to take away any hope. I get it. As caregivers, we want the best for our children and are willing to try anything. But we need to temper hope and expectations with good science and evidence-based research. Let me know what you think of this one!Show Notes:Dr. Jeffery Wozniak Research, Contact and BioMinnesota CBS Local Article: “U announces breakthrough study on treating fetal alcohol spectrum disorders”Four-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial of choline for neurodevelopment in fetal alcohol spectrum disorderCholine supplementation in children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) has high feasibility and tolerabilitySupport the show
