This project aims to provide up-to-date resources to educators by expanding the Learning with FASD portal, a website dedicated to the provision of evidence-based resources to help educators understand and support children with FASD in Australian primary schools, including by developing a suite of resources targeting secondary school educators.
Funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care, specifically this project will:
- Maintain and update existing and develop new primary school resources, available on the website
- Review current international and national FASD resources available within the education sector to educate staff and mentor students with FASD
- Develop and/or modify evidence-based information and training resources to assist the education workforce to:
- Understand the impact of FASD on classroom behaviour and learning
- Identify students with potential FASD indicators and facilitate appropriate referral for diagnosis and support, and
- Improve capacity of teachers and support staff to adopt a strengths-based approach to encourage greater participation and work effectively with children with FASD and their parents/carers.
- Promote, disseminate and evaluate resources nationally to support staff and students with FASD.
