Kurt is on a quest to discover more about people who live with FASD. In each week of this multi-part special, Kurt will talk with an adult who lives with this invisible disability to learn more about how they live with FASD. In part one, Kurt is joined by RJ Formanek, founder of the Red Shoes Rock movement and a very successful Facebook support group for adults with FASD called “Flying with Broken Wings”.
They chat about Red Shoes Rock, how FASD impacted his life and the strategies he uses that help him manage this disorder.
