Getting to know the whole child
It is important to note that no two cases of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome will be the same due to the complex nature of how/when it is acquired. Each child will have different strengths, interests, and learning challenges. The Ministry of Education (British Columbia) offers the following tips for teachers when preparing for a student with FAS in your classroom:
- Prepare for an interview/conference with the parent(s) and child
- Learn to ask for help when you need it
- Find out the student’s strengths, interests, and areas of need
- Become aware of what adjustments will be necessary in your planning, classroom environment, instruction, and assessment
