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

Consultations provide clinicians and medical professionals with an in-depth understanding of brain functioning.   Deepen your knowledge of FASD/neurodevelopmental conditions, neurodivergence, and trauma to reduce misunderstandings and frustration that can negatively impact your therapeutic work.   

Using neurodevelopmental/neurodivergent affirming practices, increase your ability to recognize FASD/brain-based disorders and the variations of behavioral, cognitive, social, and language functioning and focus on developing effective support for the client’s unique brain functioning. 

With a focus on adapting your current therapeutic modality, using a brain-based framework, learn how to recognize the underlying source of challenging behaviors/symptoms, understand how to attune to your client’s needs, increase your flexibility, and recognize possible treatment adaptations that can be more helpful. 

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.  

Understand FASD as a brain-based disorder and why certain symptoms present, reframe behaviors, how to regulate, set expectations, and find effective strategies to more effectively reach your student. 

Consultation and training will provide educators/staff working with students with FASDs with resources such as brain-based-informed, evidence-based strategies and useful accommodations that will increase the students' capacity to learn. 

Training and Consultations are highly collaborative between parents, administrators, teachers, service providers, and students, if applicable,  and can also include comprehensive school planning, interventions, IEP/504 support, and effective behavioral plans.

By understanding neurobehavioral conditions, such as FASD, as brain-based disabilities, we can focus on connecting brain functioning (ex: executive functioning challenge) with behavioral manifestations (ex: difficulties regulating and impulsivity). This approach increases new perspectives, expands options, and lowers frustration.
