'FASD Informed' Personal Assistants (PAs) / Individual Employers (IEs) /Enablers

Do you support someone with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder whose behaviour is described as challenging? 


Aim: To provide an overview of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Positive Behaviour Support, Communication & Challenging Behaviour


  • Identify how alcohol is Neuro-Developmental Trauma 

  • The impact of alcohol on the brain and its vulnerabilities

  • Examine how the alcohol informs the spectrum of need and its co-occurring conditions including Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Tourette’s etc

  • Positive Behaviour Support 

  • Communication & Challenging Behaviour

  • Examine the developmental divergence of peers

  • Discuss multi agency management plans & the NICE Quality Standards for FASD

  • Vicarious trauma and supporting needs of families


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.
