This workshop will refresh your understanding of FASD and explore FASD‐informed strategies that can improve the effectiveness of caregiving and professional interventions. We will unpack and breakdown the varied individual neurodevelopmental elements associated with the disability using an approach designed to identify unique profiles and individual strengths.

This will guide interactive discussions about interventions and build menus of prosocial strategies. The workshop will inform the shift in responses to caregiving, teaching and social service supports to enhance individual success.
