FASD - Foetal Alcohol Syndrome - it is not a behavioural issue!
Although there is no research, it is suggested that at least 1 out of every 100 live births are born with FASD; 600 newborns affected per year.
The prediction is there will be an increase in Christchurch due to earthquakes
They worry about others but have no idea how their words affect others. Restorative Justice doesn't work for these kids
They are very determined - persistence beyond what we display
We need to help them understand how their brain works.
They are great with elderly, young children. They really want to do a good job and be a role model. They identify with young children.
They don't hold grudges. They may get angry but the next day you will be their best friend.
Things to consider
Quiet spaces for learning and working
Transition times are danger times
Individual study carrels - decorate with things that calm them
