How much do you know about pregnancy and alcohol? The reality may surprise you. Alcohol exposure while in the womb may cause Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, in the unborn child. It is more common than many people realise. It may lead to lifelong physical and developmental impairments. For such an impactful disorder, it is rarely spoken about in the popular media. This podcast will take the listener behind the scenes to chat with the people who understand FASD the most and to find out more about this surprising reality.

#38 Justice Plea Deals and FASD with Katelyn Mullally

Kurt is joined by Katelyn Mullally, a PhD Candidate in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology at the University of Guelph in Canada, who is researching youth justice, legal decision-making and FASD. They discuss her research on guilty pleas and plea understanding in youth and young adults with FASD. She found that individuals with FASD had difficulty understanding the terms and consequences of guilty pleas compared to those without FASD. She also emphasises the importance of legal professionals being aware of FASD and adapting their practices to support defendants with FASD.
