Before you even get into the legal specifics, we recommend you start by developing a shared vision for the FASD individual’s adult life – setting out simply and clearly the ideal kind of a life that they would like to see in their future. This should reflect their personal values, aspirations, and desired lifestyle.
Remember that you know your FASD person best when it comes to their strengths and challenges. So when developing that shared vision, be realistic, but focus on their strengths, interests and potential for growth.
Whatever vision you develop for your FASD person, they must be in the placed in the centre of the planning and be involved in developing this vision about their future life.
