Your stories – tertiary education


FASD-CAN interviewed some of our young people with FASD to find out about their experience of tertiary education – any education that happens after high school level.  

Thanks to these stories, we were able to let the people at the two-day Neuroabilities Symposium 2023 at Otago Polytech in Dunedin know that people with FASD want to succeed, and they can - with the right support! 

We are now helping the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to develop information and resources on their website about FASD following our presentation at the Symposium.
