FADP Guest Seminar : Overall Objectives
Demystifying FASD and FASD diagnostic methods in order to respond effectively to this challenge within our community.

• Introduce the scope of FASD issues and the work of Fetal Alcohol Diagnostic Program.
• Provide basic knowledge of FASD and associated brain dysfunction.
• Illustrate the link between brain domains and intervention recommendations.
• Build Demystifying FASD toolkit for community discussion.

Course Description
This is a one day seminar designed for the professional working in the community with children and adults, such as:

The Seminar curriculum includes lecture, observation of our diagnostic process and Team Conference, conversation, and a Demystifying Toolkit including materials that will assist in sharing the learning experience and information within the community.

At the end of the seminar our community guests will be capable of discussing the impact of FASD diagnostic methods and the impact of alcohol exposure brain damage within our community systems: education, judicial, social service, and foster care. These community guests will also be able to identify the need for a child or adult to receive further assessment for a FASD diagnosis. Lastly, our community guests will be able to consider new ideas for intervention planning and implementation that will move toward maximizing the potential of the person being evaluated.
