Participate in a study on Legal Decision Making

Currently, PLAN (Psychology, Law and Neurodevelopment Research and Policy Group at U of G)  are inviting youth and young adults between the ages of 12 and 24 with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) to participate in a study. Youth are eligible to participate whether or not they have had actual contact with the criminal justice system as our study asks about both hypothetical and real-world legal decisions. Youth will be asked to answer questions relevant to their own past experiences. In order to participate, youth must be able to speak English and must currently reside in Canada. 

 

Interested individuals can contact us directly by email: PLANLab@uoguelph.ca or by telephone at 519-824-4120 ext. 53622.

FASD Ontario-New Website is LIVE!

It's FASD Awareness month!
We are excited to announce that our new and improved FASD website is now live!


You will notice that our website has changed a lot since the last time you checked in. Earlier this year we asked for your feedback and thanks to all of your responses we were able to completely revamp the FASD Ontario website. 

Key features of the new FASD Ontario website include:

  • Enhanced design – The website is now more modern and dynamic, while still being accessible.
  • Improved navigation – We completely reorganized the FASD Ontario website to make the information easier to find and offer a better user experience.
  • Upgraded search functionality – The search bar located in the What's Happening, Learn More and Get Help sections of the website allows you to search for events, news, resources, services, training... all at the same time!

Check out the new website, by clicking here!
