Feel free to ask questions! I have kids who are pysically disabled and have other issues. Lets see the abbriviations
FAS - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
FAE - Fetal alcohol effects
RAD - Reactive attachment disorder (this happens to children who don't learn to attach to a primary caregiver in the first few months of life and carries a whole host of issues)
TPR - Termination of parental rights (you can't adopt a child from foster care until their first parents parental rights are terminated)
PT - Pysical therapy
OT - Occupational therapy (this heps with things like learning to feed ones self with a spoon, dressing skills, etc)
AFO- I can't remember exactly what it stands for, but they are orhthotics, braces that the child wears under a shoe, but over the sock, to help properly position a foot.
Anyway fee free to ask as many questions as you want, and welcome!
