Understanding and Supporting FASD in Early Learning Settings is designed for early childhood educators, community service providers, and families who support children in the early years. It introduces key concepts about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and provides practical strategies for creating supportive, inclusive environments for children who may experience neurodevelopmental differences.

Children with FASD may face challenges with learning, attention, memory, self-regulation, sensory integration, problem-solving, coordination, and communication. Early assessment, diagnosis, and intervention can significantly improve outcomes, and providing informed support is the first step.

Here’s what you’ll gain by completing the course: 

• Learn what FASD can look like in early learning settings.
• Understand how to open conversations with caregivers and colleagues about FASD.
• Develop practical strategies to support children within your programs and at home.
• Help combat stigma and contribute to an FASD-informed workforce.

Take the first step in creating a supportive environment for children with FASD.
