Printable Resources

This section introduces shorter and unique documents with good ideas for educating students with FASD. These resources are all relatively short and easy to print.

Note: It is important to use Person-First Language when talking about a student with FASD. There are many FASD resources. However, some resources may use objectionable language that increases the stigma associated with having FASD.  Although many resources are sincere and written from people’s hearts with the best of intentions, some phrases such as ‘FASD students/kids’, ‘FASD families’, ‘suffering from’, ‘afflicted with’ or ‘victims of’ will be encountered. Resources with this kind of wording should be studiously avoided and not passed along to others.  There are no ‘FASD students’, just like there are no ‘cancer students’ – only ‘students who have’ or ‘who are affected by FASD’.
