 FAScinating Journey- a Guidebook February 20, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
 Concerning, all over the place and disorganized November 28, 2005
5 out of 11 found this review helpful
I immediately found the page design of this book disturbing. There are blurbs and comments all over the margins, and bits of story and anecdotes without any explanation. It is a real ADD kind of lay out, and made the book as a whole rather difficult to read. The book could have benefitted from a real editor.
Going forward, there were a wide assortment of assertions in the book which were plain old opinion- there is not a lot of support for some of the declarations about learning, supplements, and even what FAS is. It appeared that the author often attributed to FAS behaviors which have every appearance of actually being manifestations of BiPolar. The various interventions the family experiemented with seemed spur of the moment, and not terribly effective. It is also concerning that the family has encouraged the child to become a sort of poster child for FAS, with what impact on her privacy?
I can only hope that there are better resources out there for families who need solid, science based and effective interventions for kids with fetal alcohol effects.
A Truly Practical Guide to Raising a Child with FAS June 18, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.

Ms. Kulp has done a wonderful job, as usual, updating her classic book on raising a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves someone with FASD.
A One-Stop-Shop for Caregivers of FASD Children July 16, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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. Susan Rose, Director
