Strategies for Teaching
The pattern for each person with FASD is unique, but teachers can become aware of individual strengths and needs, and can tailor programs and supports to build strengths and create hope for students with FASD.
School-age children with FASD show a range of learning difficulties. In primary grades, they may have difficulty learning basic skills, such as recognizing letters and numbers, reading words, learning math facts, spelling, and writing sentences. By junior high and high school, they may have significant and persistent difficulty with complex learning tasks, such as reading comprehension, math reasoning and problem solving, report writing and test taking. Children with FASD often plateau in their academic learning, particularly in math. At the high school level and beyond, arithmetic skills may show limited development beyond basic intermediate grade functioning.
