“…Our review identified 16 school/education-based management interventions [83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,96,97,98]. Two of the above-mentioned management interventions aimed at improving mathematical skills and behavior in children with FASD [83,87].…”

The global prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) remains high despite the various preventive and management interventions that have been designed and implemented to tackle the issue in various settings. The aim of the scoping review is to identify and classify prevention and management interventions of FASD reported globally across the life span and to map the concentration of these interventions across the globe. We searched some selected databases with predefined terms. Framework and narrative approaches were used to synthesize and report on the findings. Thirty-two prevention intervention studies and 41 management interventions studies were identified. All the interventions were reported to be effective or showed promising outcomes for the prevention and management of FASD, except four. Although Europe and Africa have a relatively higher prevalence of FASD, the lowest number of interventions to address FASD were identified in these regions. Most of the interventions for FASD were reported in North America with comparatively lower FASD prevalence. The uneven distribution of interventions designed for FASD vis-à-vis the burden of FASD in the different regions calls for a concerted effort for knowledge and intervention sharing to enhance the design of contextually sensitive preventive and management policy in the different regions.

“…The FASD literature does address helping children cope with change. Within the school system teachers have had to help children with FASD cope with changes to their medications and home environment (e.g., change in the caregiver ;Clark et al, 2014). The current study suggests that while helping the child accept change can be challenging at first, with patience and various skills the child can come to not only accept but also enjoy change.…”

“…Developing a student-centred, learning plan for individuals with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) requires a thoughtful and informed approach in order to create a meaningful, individualized plan that will utilize and develop the strengths of the learner (Carpenter, 2011;Carpenter et al, 2011;Clark, 2012;Clark et al, 2014;Kalberg & Buckley, 2007;Millians, 2015;Pei, 2013;Petrenko, Tahir, Mahoney, & Chin, 2014).…”

BC teachers' experiences with the learner, environment, instruction, curriculum (LEIC) planning tool: A mixed-methods study

The LEIC is a FASD planning tool, guided by a neurodevelopmental approach to planning and endorsed by the Provincial Outreach Program for FASD. The research in this study explores the lived experiences of six B.C. teachers as they have used the LEIC in past practice and reflect on future use. This mixed-methods study also looks at data gathered in a cross-sectional survey design where a further 27 teachers responded to questions about the LEIC. The findings indicated that the teachers felt that the tool was a useful document however, certain factors inhibited comprehensive and effective use in some cases. The data suggested that frequency of use and bi-modal training methods increased effective practice as well as depth-of-understanding in planning for a student with FASD.
