Supporting ākonga/students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) requires understanding, empathy, and effective strategies. Join us for an interactive, one-hour webinar designed to equip educators with a practical framework for moving beyond immediate reactions to thoughtful, reflective, best-practice responses.
What you'll learn
In this session, we will continue our discussion of the ORA (Observe, Reframe, Act) reflective practice framework, giving you the tools to:
Observe: Recognise the underlying needs, lagging skills, and communication behind a student's behaviour, rather than just the behaviour itself.
Reframe: Shift your perspective from challenge to opportunity, seeing behaviours through an FASD-informed, brain-based lens.
Act: Implement targeted, reflective, and supportive strategies that build connection and promote better long-term outcomes for all ākonga/students.
Reserve your spot today and unlock the power of a pause in your classroom!

FASD-CAN presents special webinars for educators on an aspect of FASD once a term on Tuesdays between 4pm and 5pm (avoiding the holidays). The webinars are hosted by two education experts experienced in FASD. Research comprehensively shows that for rangatahi with FASD, staying in school is a top indicator for healthy life outcomes, so we want to help educators find out more about this specific neurodisability to enable them to better support ākonga with FASD, and to learn strategies and skills for a happier classroom.
Recordings of previous Ngā Tupu Rau webinars can be found on our training platform on this link ($10 each).
* PLEASE NOTE: In the interest of enabling as many educators as possible to become FASD-informed, we have removed the requirement of being a member of FASD-CAN to take part – but we would love you to join us! It's quick and easy, and your membership information helps us to tailor our training – plus, adding to our numbers may also help with funding. There is no requirement for other input, and you will receive just one newsletter per month. Click here to join FASD-CAN.
