“Jacob’s
Story” is a play about a boy named Jacob who has FASD. The play highlights
the struggles Jacob has throughout his life at home, at school, and with the
judicial system. This play represents an innovative Knowledge Translation (KT)
tool, since it aims to use the arts to communicate what science is telling us.
After the play, the audience participates in a discussion and question period,
which is led by subject matter expert and NeuroDevNet FASD Discovery Project
Lead Dr. James Reynolds. Throughout the promo video are references/links to
relevant research papers. Some are open access, but for those that are not,
audience members are encouraged to take the reference to their local library to
get a copy.
