Book Reviews of Fantastic Antone Succeeds: Experiences in Educating Children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Book Review: A must have for parents and caregivers of FAS/FAE children
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful positive book for parents and caregivers of FAS/FAE children. I have read so much negative and disheartening material on the subject of fetal alcohol syndrome which gave me little hope for the future for my son. This book gives me hope and guidelines for enhancing his life. The chapters written by other parents are especially helpful. I thank the authors for their research and sincerity in their work. We, as parents, need assistance and guidelines in heading off some of the secondary disabilities which often come with fetal alcohol syndrome. This book offers some real answers! I keep it on the kitchen table so I can refer to it often.

Summary of Fantastic Antone Succeeds: Experiences in Educating Children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
For every 1,000 live births in Alaska, between 2.1 and 6.6 babies are affected by FAS--a rate 6 to 18 times higher than the national average. Fantastic Antone Succeeds!describes in concrete, specific ways how to educate children with fetal alcohol syndrome/fetal alcohol effects (FAS/FAE). It communicates an optimistic message that is both true and appealing: with the right education, delivered by a nurturing individual in the home or in the school, many alcohol-affected children thrive.The book consists of separate chapters written in a popular and accessible style by psychologists, teachers, and birth and adoptive parents of alcohol-affected children. Many chapters are personal stories with emotional power. A birth mother, for example, tells of her anguish when she realizes that she has recovered from her own alcoholism but her daughter cannot. This mother describes how she dealt with her grief, how she told her daughter the truth, her daughter's relief at finally understanding what was wrong, and how they both developed ways of overcoming her daughter's learning problems.
Other chapters describe how experienced teachers have learned to organize classrooms where alcohol-affected children can thrive and how therapists have learned to work with parents. One chapter summarizes medical knowledge of FAS/FAE and offers information useful for understanding a child's learning and behavioral problems and devising educational approaches. The book includes lists of important resources, organizations to contact, and descriptions of effective classroom practices for teachers.
Without minimizing the seriousness of FAS/FAE and the first priority prevention, Fantastic Antone Succeeds provides practical tools and strategies that can help alcohol-affected individuals and their families lead happier, more productive lives.
