Understanding the need
Support starts with
seeing the whole person.
FASD is a spectrum of neurological, behavioral, and cognitive differences caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. People with FASD can learn and thrive when we discover what helps them learn, and make that process positive.
What works
Five keys to successful support
- Structure: provide dependable external structure
- Consistency: respond in steady, predictable ways
