Schools don’t work for children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Here’s how tutors can help...

Jessica Rutherford and Clare Devanney-Glynn are the pioneering hosts of the Spotlight on FASD Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spotlight-on-fasd/id1536192816) and we welcome them on to discuss this condition in the sphere of education.

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is the term for a group of conditions caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol and, perhaps surprisingly, it is the most common, non-genetic cause of learning disability in the UK (British Medical Association, 2007). Studies have shown that as much as 1 student in every class may suffer from FASD.

It is incredibly important that educators and medical professionals treat FASD seriously.

Here, we explore what tutors can do in a tutoring session to aid students with this condition. (Hint: it is NOT what happens in a classroom setting)

The best resource for tutors who are new to FASD, as recommended by Jessica, has been produced by the NHS for Ayrshire And Arran, Understanding FASD: What Educators need to know (https://www.nhsaaa.net/media/8391/fasd_whateducatorsneedtoknow.pdf) . Start here and continue to listen in to the Spotlight on FASD Podcast.
