Strategies
If you are a parent of a child, youth or adult living with FASD, you know that the things you do make a difference. Sure, it is important to know about FASD, but probably, like other parents, you want to know what to do. There is no easy fix, but there are things that seem to work for people with FASD. These are often called strategies. Good strategies can make a difference in everyday life. The parents we hear from ask for strategies for the home, school or community. They ask for strategies for almost everything you can imagine.
If you are looking for ideas and strategies that might help your child, youth or adult living with FASD, the FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan is here to help.
