Overview:
This session provides information about FASD and the effects of other drugs on behaviors of children, adolescents and adults. FASD is a brain-based, neurobehavioral condition. The training will educate you on the current status of research for identification and on a best practices approach for treatment and accommodations. The goal is to increase understanding, reduce frustration, and expand options. Case examples of successful diagnosis, treatment and accommodations are central to this training.
This is intended for professionals as well as parents and other caregivers of children with confirmed or suspected FASD and other brain-based conditions. Our experience is that the training is enriched by having parents of children with FASD in the same group as professionals.
