We are committed to changing the landscape for FASD support in Ireland 🇮🇪.

From our collaboration with Professor Farhana Sharif to our partnership with Tusla, our mission is clear: ensure children in care receive the tailored services they need.

Thank you for supporting this journey. Let’s continue to learn and advocate together. 🌳

When a child’s world feels chaotic, often it is because the different parts of their life are playing different tunes.

In this video, Dr. Sara O’Byrne shares her favourite analogy for the work we do: The Orchestra. 🎻

The lead clinician isn't the soloist. Instead, our role is to support the key relationships in a child's life – parents, carers, and schools – to work in harmony.

If the environment at school is too loud, or the rhythm at home is out of sync with a child's sensory needs, the melody gets lost. Our goal is to help every part of the "orchestra" play together, creating a therapeutic plan that surrounds the child with consistency and safety.

Watch to see how we help families find their rhythm. 👇

Do you need guidance regarding FASD identification? 📩

Priority is given to referrals for young people in the care of Tusla as we launch this new service. However, we are here to support the wider community with information.

Reach out to us at hello@treehousepractice.ie if you need guidance, assessment information, or want to refer a young person.

Today is Care Day 2026! 🎉

This year’s theme is "The Future Starts With Us," and has called on agencies to discuss how to include the voices of care-experienced young people in their policies.

Earlier this week, the Treehouse Practice team gathered for a pancake morning to reflect on how we can continue to be strong, active allies to the care-experienced community. 🥞

And of course, action should follow reflection. So we are proud to announce the launch of our Youth Engagement Strategy this month. This strategy actively seeks direct feedback and guidance from young people, their carers, and systems about how to improve clinical practice and outcomes.

Because true allyship means listening, learning, and ensuring young people help shape the future of their care. 🧡

The more we talk about FASD with clarity and kindness, the more we make it possible for children to get the right pathways and the right supports. 💡☺️

Our integrated service is designed to provide that clarity. By looking at cognitive, developmental, relational, and sensory domains together, we can see the person behind the diagnosis.

We are pleased to announce that Treehouse Practice has officially joined the European FASD Alliance (). 🙋🏻‍♀️

As we launch Ireland’s first integrated MDT service for FASD identification in collaboration with Professor Farhana Sharif, it is vital that our work is aligned with international best practices and the latest research.

Membership of the Alliance connects us with a network of experts across Europe, ensuring that the families we support in Ireland benefit from the highest standards of care and advocacy.

Together, we are building a better future for those living with FASD.

Additional mental health risks arise when a young person's needs are unmet or misunderstood.

Without accurate identification, we risk missed trauma-informed, neuro-affirmative interventions.

At Treehouse Practice, our goal is to ensure young people and families are met with understanding, not blame. Support replaces stigma, leading to better outcomes for all involved 🤝.

10/02/2026

It is one thing to have a range of experts. It is another to have them truly collaborate. 🤝

In this clip, Dr Alanna Donnelly explains that a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) isn't just a list of professionals under one roof – it's a shared mindset and a practice of collaboration.

At Treehouse Practice, our Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech and Language Therapists don't work in silos. We work together, synthesising so that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

We "think together and formulate together" to ensure that every aspect of a young person's story, from their sensory needs to their emotional world, is connected.

It is this active dialogue between disciplines that turns a fragmented picture into a coherent plan for support.

Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to early FASD identification .

Families often fear judgment or blame, and as a result, young people miss out on the assessments and supports that could transform their lives.

This silence comes at a cost. When FASD goes unspoken, children go unsupported. It is time to break the stigma around FASD identification.

At Treehouse Practice, we say it all the time: to understand the whole child, you need to see the entire picture. 🖼️

Treehouse Practice provides Ireland’s only integrated multidisciplinary assessment and intervention service for FASD .

We combine paediatrics, psychology, SLT, OT, social work, and psychotherapy to build a full picture of a young person’s story. Accurate identification through integrated MDT assessments ensures a complete picture across cognitive, developmental, relational, sensory, and medical domains.

Why FASD identification matters for young people:

Behaviour that looks like autism, ADHD, trauma, or emotional differences may actually be rooted in neurodevelopmental differences associated with FASD.

A missed or incorrect diagnosis can derail a child's journey. It can lead to inappropriate referral pathways, delaying the supports that truly help .

Young people risk being misunderstood or blamed for behaviours linked to a brain-based disability. ⚠️

Accurate identification is the key to changing this narrative.
