    • Published books for children and adults.

    • Produced three radio and television Public Service Announcements featuring Jimmy Smits, Bonnie Raitt, and Queen Latifah that are in regular rotation on all major networks.

    • Held training conferences for lay and professional audiences as well as sponsoring community seminars which teach health professionals and educators the skills necessary to address FAS, and offer support to families and community members dealing with FAS.
