Pioneering FASD Researcher Dr. Ann Streissguth and her Incredible Legacy, A Tribute.

 

All of us at FASD United are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Ann Streissguth, our dear friend, past member of our Scientific Advisory Board, and pioneering researcher of FASD. She led the way toward a greater understanding of the spectrum of FASD and the myriad ways it impacts people’s lives.
