There is no cure for FASD, but there is hope.

When traditional approaches aren’t effective, it may be because an individual's challenges stem from brain-based differences. We need practical strategies to look beyond surface behaviors and address each client’s unique neurological needs, fostering more effective therapeutic interventions and support for individuals and families.

Our workshops equip clinicians and healthcare providers with evidence-based approaches to identify brain-based differences and implement effective assessment and intervention strategies. Gain the critical skills needed to provide tailored, brain-based support, collaborate effectively with colleagues, and achieve meaningful improvements in patient outcomes. 

Our approach is grounded in the latest research supporting interdisciplinary collaboration.  Working across disciplines—from healthcare to education—ensures comprehensive, coordinated care that truly supports individuals and families affected by FASD and other neurodevelopmental challenges. 

 Do you work with students whose behaviors stem from brain-based differences rather than choice or defiance—students who understand the rules but struggle to follow them consistently? Many of these students require specialized support strategies beyond traditional behavior management.

Students with FASD can struggle with developmental delays, memory problems, poor judgment, impulsivity, executive functioning, modulating emotions, social competencies, sensory difficulties, and adaptive functioning, which impact learning capacity.  

Our trainings & workshops help educators gain practical insights and tools specifically tailored to help diverse and complex students succeed academically and socially by addressing the unique neurological challenges that impact their behavior and learning.

INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION

Reflective consultation focused on adapting your therapeutic approach within a brain-based framework. Brain-based differences, such as those seen in FASD, are often misunderstood due to overlapping symptoms with other neurodevelopmental or psychiatric diagnoses, leading to misdiagnosis or delayed identification that complicates treatment and support.

Receive guidance to identify the underlying causes of challenging behaviors and symptoms, attune to your client's unique needs, and increase treatment flexibility. Explore potential adaptations to your clinical methods that enhance engagement and outcomes, supported by collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and families. This approach acknowledges the complexity of overlapping diagnoses and promotes more accurate understanding and effective care.

MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SIG

FASD Collaborative Special Interest Group (SIG) provide professionals a space to discuss discipline-specific topics and needs related to brain-based differences. This SIG supports mental health professionals internationally who are individually supporting individuals with FASDs and their families. Engage in monthly discussions to explore challenging cases, share effective interventions, stay current on research, and build a supportive network of peers facing similar clinical challenges.   Join us monthly on the 4th Friday. Find additional FASD Collaborative Professional SIGS here. 

COLLABORATIVE CONSULTATION

Engage in collaborative consultation designed to help educators understand brain-based differences and their influence on student behaviors and learning in the classroom. Brain-based differences, such as those seen in FASD, are often misunderstood in educational settings, leading to ineffective interventions and missed opportunities for student success.

Receive guidance to reframe challenging behaviors, develop regulation strategies, set clear expectations, and discover effective methods to connect with and support your students. Access evidence-based, brain-based tools and practical accommodations that increase student learning capacity and success. Explore comprehensive school planning, targeted classroom interventions, IEP/504 guidance, and effective behavioral plans to create an inclusive learning environment.

This service is highly collaborative—engaging parents, administrators, teachers, service providers, and students, as applicable — to ensure consistent, informed support across all environments.
