About the Course
Neuro-developmental Trauma Training: FASD Informed™ Education Stage 1
Aim: To provide an overview of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) & its co-occurring neurodevelopmental conditions to support the NICE Quality Standards for FASD, we will consider:
· How FASD impacts developmental age & the brain domains
· How the teratogen alcohol informs the spectrum of need and co-occurring conditions
· The impact of alcohol on the brain and its vulnerabilities
· Identify how alcohol is neuro-developmental trauma
· Review developmental milestones in the womb; the lifelong impact of brain damage
· Examine the developmental divergence of peers
· Confabulation, processing & communication
· Safeguarding & risk assessment
. Good practice in accessing support from multi-disciplinary teams
Good practice in neurodevelopmental support informs us that working towards being ‘FASD Responsive’ includes empowering all members of the team who come into contact with child/ren with prenatal exposure to alcohol.
Although individual indicators vary greatly, this is an illustrative example of what life might be like for someone with an FASD profile:
I might appear to be very articulate but have problems understanding what you have just told me, as well as keeping track of what I was asked to do to correct my behaviour.
I might be very impulsive without thinking of the consequences; and, even if corrected, I may do it again because I have great difficulty learning from experience.
I might appear truculent and challenging and act inappropriately for my age.
I might be anxious and developing mental health issues because I am being bullied or misunderstood so often.
I might have real skills and talents, I am unable to demonstrate consistently because my life is so disorganised and stressful.
