“…Caregivers discussed the importance of adapting their perspectives to focus on the individual perspective of the adult with FASD, adapting their expectations to better fit the areas of personal strength and challenge of the adult they support, and adapting their environment to create situations optimized for supporting positive outcomes.Participant recommendations regarding the need to understand FASD and adapt approaches when supporting adults with FASD are aligned with recommended practices in FASD housing research both within Canada(Brownstone, 2005;Burns, 2009;Pei et al, 2018) and outside Canada(Becker, 2018), and support Rutman's (2016) conceptualization of the importance of understanding FASD and providing person-centered support when developing services for adults with FASD.Strength-based supportsThe need to recognize and encourage the strengths of people with FASD when providing support was expressed by caregivers in this study and has been consistently communicated in previous research (e.g., seeCurrie et al, 2016;Flannigan et al, 2018;Pei et al, 2015; and Rogers et al, 2013 as cited by McLachlan et al, 2020). The importance of identifying the diverse strengths of individuals with FASD was also highlighted in a recent review byFlannigan et al (2021), in which they put forward a call to action to shift the narrative surrounding FASD away from deficits and difficulties, toward strengths and successes(Flannigan et al, 2021) Flannigan et al (2021).…”
