Starla was a child with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), who during her short life, felt that the stigma associated with FASD needed to stop. A powerful self advocate, Starla wanted everyone in her community educated about FASD and how best to support people living with it. While Starla did face challenges associated with her disability, she had many strengths such as loving to write stories, singing songs, and dancing.
Stars for Starla is a national youth recognition campaign by FASD United (formerly NOFAS), focusing on the strengths and talents of youth with FASD.
