The Fetal Alcohol and Drug Unit (FADU) of the University of Washington Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute, has developed an online resource toolkit for educators, parents, and native communities about fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).
The Education & FASD Toolkit was created to help educators and families to work better in partnerships to provide the necessary interventions to help students reach their maximum potential and prevent some of the adverse life circumstances associated with FASD.
The toolkit begins with resources suitable for anyone interested in the subject of education and FASD, with additional pages of materials specifically for educators, parents and caregivers, and native communities.
Resources on each page include:
- recommended websites;
- written materials like handbooks, factsheets, and guides (in downloadable format);
- webinars from experts in the field; and
- videos by specialists, teachers, families, and those living with FASD.
Each page also features two sections: an overview of relevant issues for each group (e.g. parents, educators, Native communities), followed by suggested strategies each group can use to help youth achieve optimal academic outcomes.
