Overview of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) & Question & Answer session

Time: 10.00 AM – 12.00 PM

Date: Saturday 12 September

Location: Online (Zoom)

Presented by: Emma McDougall – NOFASD (National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders)

Are you caring for a child who is, or you suspect is, affected by FASD?

Children with FASD have complex needs and require FASD-informed support in order to learn, communicate and thrive. As a result of attending this workshop, carers will have a clear understanding of FASD, including its common characteristics, strengths, and challenges. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions about FASD, either by submitting them before the session or raising them during the training.

If you would like to submit a question prior to the session, please email Carer Kafe [email protected] marking the subject line FASD Questions.

The National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (NOFASD) Australia is the oldest established FASD organisation in Australia. Founded and led by parents and carers for more than 20 years. NOFASD has been delivering workshops to community organisations for nearly 10 years. Feedback is consistently positive, with over 95% of participants who completed this workshop stating that they would recommend it.
