Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)

What does FASD look like in the classroom? Why do students, families, and educators often become frustrated? And what can we do differently?

This training examines the brain-based impact of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), why traditional interventions often fail, and practical strategies that help students be more successful at school.

No prior knowledge of FASD is required; however, with FASD affecting an estimated 1 in 20 children, chances are you have worked with students impacted by prenatal alcohol exposure.

Participants will also hear directly from a new high school graduate living with FASD, offering a unique perspective on the challenges, strengths, and supports that make a difference.
