This resource developed by the Fetal Alcohol Advisory Support and Training Team (FAASTT) in collaboration with The University of Edinburgh, provides appropriate strategies and interventions for FASD and is also applicable for use with children and young people who are not yet diagnosed with FASD, but who share some of the same learning needs. The aim of this resource is to provide educators with a clear understanding of the needs of children and young people with FASD by:

• Defining FASD.
• Describing the common learning and behavioural characteristics of children with FASD.
• Suggesting strategies that may be helpful in meeting the needs of these children in the classroom.

This fillable document from Shannon Iacobacci at Embracing the Brain (www.EmbracingTheBrain.com) is a way to help your child’s teacher(s) learn about their specific challenges and strengths as a person living with an FASD.

This webinar originally broadcast live on January 31, 2024, was presented by Dr. Molly Millians, Emory University. Dr. Millians reviewed evidence-based school interventions as well as family and mental health supports for children and youth with prenatal alcohol exposure.

Trying Differently Rather than Harder: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders written by Diana Malbin, provides a readable, narrative discussion of the neurobehavioral approach for working effectively with children, adolescents and adults with FASD.
