FASD in Schools
The workshop will explain what Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) is and how students present with the syndrome in classrooms.
It will include some of the most common behavioral and cognitive difficulties associated with it and give some simple/practical adaptions teachers and schools can adopt to enhance classroom management and teaching and learning in general.
Participants will:
- Gain basic knowledge of the contributing factors and incidence rates for FASD in Ireland
- Become familiar with some common signs and symptoms of FASD in students, and the typical difficulties for both student and professional when these are misunderstood.
- Practical ways to improve the fit between the unique needs of the student and what classroom teachers and the wider school community can do to support
