We have created some downloadable flyers which can be printed and given to the relevant people to help educate, support and upskill them around FASD.
We've recently re-developed our one-page overview of FASD in NZ – it's handy to print or email this link to anyone requiring some quick, graphically-presented facts.
Our 'I am a Caregiver' flyer details the requirements of a tamariki / rangatahi and adult with FASD, with some of the challenges and strategies in your role as their caregiver.
• Our 'Hey Teacher!' flyer for educators can be used by educators as a first-response resource for a quick reminder of strategy when dealing with ākonga with FASD.
• 'I am' flyer – this is a one-page info sheet about your child which is filled in by whānau and given to their teacher. It's helpful for kaiako to have individualised info that they can keep on file to refer to, which gives helpful tips about a child's specific strengths, challenges and tips on strategies that work for that individual – because the person that knows your child best is you!
It's an interactive Word document that you can type straight into. We've also included an example sheet that's already filled in.
Download the sample file here and the blank document for you to fill in here.
