Training: Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)

FASD is the leading cause of preventable birth defects and is caused by foetal exposure to alcohol during pregnancy. It can have a significant impact on the child’s development and their ability to learn. Consistent and accurate information on FASD is therefore essential for recognition and intervention for children with FASD.

Within the two-hour workshop, delegates will learn:

• What FASD is and the impact on child development.
• The potential indicators of FASD that a child may present with.
• The multiple characteristics of FASD and the crossover in presentation with attachment difficulties.
• About the Primary and Secondary Framework for supporting children with FAS.
• Practical strategies to support children with FAS in the classroom and at home.
