About Us

Vangi Ryan-BooseMSW, RSW, FASD Consultant

As a social worker for over 30 years, my initial experiences working with and learning about FASD were during the time I worked in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Returning to Ontario, it was striking how little was understood about FASD. Since that time, it has been my goal to continually grow in my understanding of best practice. My passion is to help caregivers increase their understanding and ability to support the individual in their life who is impacted by FASD. Many years as a school social worker, including nine as the FASD System Social Worker for a local school board have provided me with a unique perspective to assist systems in adapting to the realities of FASD. I also offer clinical supervision, case consultation, as well as in-depth training and consultation.

Rachel SaundersMSW, RSW, FASD Consultant

Throughout my 30-year social work career, including 15 years specializing in FASD and experience as a clinical lead in the foster care system, I have seen how a greater understanding, tailored support, and a shift in perspective can make a meaningful difference to individuals with FASD. I believe that when caregivers and professionals are better equipped to understand FASD, they are better able to respond to individual needs, strengthen relationships, and improve outcomes.

Through coaching, training, supervision, and consultation, I bring together evidence-informed practice, compassion, and a deep understanding of the diverse needs of individuals with FASD.
