Education

Educating students with FASD is one of our most important societal responsibilities.

Problem: Diagnosis is difficult and requires persistent effort. Only a very small percentage of affected children are ever diagnosed.

Problem: Many of the undiagnosed drop out of school.

Problem: School failure results in additional costs to society.

Solution: We could improve chances of success for the FASD-affected by providing an open door to alternative and vocational education for any student exhibiting behaviors typical of FASD exposure. 

Benefits for all: Giving FASD-affected children appropriate education increases their chances of living productive, fulfilling lives as contributors to society.
