🌟 New Speaker Announcement - FASD Ireland Conference 2026 🌟

We are thrilled to continue building the momentum for the FASD Ireland Conference 2026 (13th and 14th May 2026) with the announcement of two exceptional new speakers whose work sits at the cutting edge of neurodiversity, justice, and lived experience informed research.

Tara Gallagher is a PhD Researcher at Maynooth University whose work explores how FASD shapes engagement with the Irish Criminal Justice System. She supports multiple projects on the lived experiences of neurodiverse individuals and is emerging as a powerful new voice in FASD and justice research.

Dr Etain Quigley is a Lecturer in Law at Maynooth University and a leading researcher on neurodiversity, mental health, and youth justice. With over a decade of experience on mental health tribunals and a strong record of award‑winning research, she brings deep insight into how legal systems can better support neurodiverse individuals.

Previously announces speakers include Professor Julian Davies (University of Washington, Seattle), Dr David Juniour Gilbert (University of Salford) and Dr Cathal McAuliffe (Three Steps) - and with more Speakers to be announced!

Early Bird will be ending soon, so visit our website for more information and to get your places!

Ballinlough National School Roscommon has become the first school in Ireland to be officially FASD Aware - a milestone for inclusion, understanding, and early support.
This is what leadership in education looks like: recognising the needs of neurodiverse learners and creating environments where every child can thrive.

FASD affects more students than many realise, and awareness is the first step toward meaningful change.

To schools, educators, and those shaping policy: this is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we prioritise knowledge, compassion, and evidence‑based practice.

Let’s make FASD awareness the norm across Ireland — not the exception.

Help your school become FASD Aware - contact training@fasdireland.ie or telephone 065 6703096
