Interpreting theory into practice, strategies to support Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder


This is a follow on session from the Stage 1 where we take a deeper dive and use what we know or what information we have gathered to start considering how to 'stop before we start'......


  • We start by recapping reflecting on providing a safe space for 'just being', setting new expectations and working with the family to identify a method together to 'switch' an unsafe hyper-fixation

  • We discussed in our first session how the mind organises words and phrases -'language' - into streams of thought..... how do we learn from this and start changing the ways that we plan and communicate

  • We will encourage more reflection on shared practice in 'thinking differently'

  • How do we tune in and respond to some of the big emotions we see in children & young people with FASD? How can we meet this level or adapt quicky to avoid conflict and redirect?

  • Communication & pause; we will consider how talking in concrete terms can make a difference

  • Provide case examples of complex presentations and out of the box solutions

  • How we can support 'how to think' strategies when working with children and adults with FASD?


Online live delivery (90 minutes) includes Certification & FASD Resources; with progression opportunities to a higher level learning.

DISCLAIMER Every child, young person and adult with prenatal alcohol exposure, likely FASD or confirmed FASD is unique. Needs, strengths, risks, health profile, communication, adaptive functioning, family context and support requirements can vary significantly across individuals and across the lifespan. This information is therefore intended to support families and professionals in education, policy discussion and service improvement by encouraging a whole-person, whole-family and whole-system approach.

 

Assessment, planning and provision should be informed by the person’s individual profile and developed through coordinated multi-agency working across education, health, social care, safeguarding, family support, independent legal advise and, where appropriate, specialist FASD-informed clinical input.
