Cathy Allen, Parent
Phone: (301) 807-4089
Email: cwma1956@aol.com
She is a parent advocate. She has an adopted son that she knew was born from a mother who was an alcoholic. She has been through the challenges of the school system, and through the counselors and doctors who didn’t understand FASD and treated her son for ADHD until she found Kennedy Kreiger. Her son has ARND, so he is not visually identifiable with the facial featurs that mark many of the kids with full FAS.
