Understanding Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)

It is estimated that 2-5% of the population has Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), meaning that most teachers will knowingly or unknowingly come across children in their classes who are living with FASD.

FASD affects individuals in different ways, but can include complex physical, behavioural, social, learning and intellectual differences that persist throughout the lifespan. In this webinar, Kim Milne, Principal Advisor at FASD-CAN (FASD Care-Action-Network) and mother to a son with FASD, talks to us about what FASD is, how it affects children and adolescents, and what teachers and schools can do to support children with FASD.
