What is FASD ONE Assessment Team Training?
Welcome to the FASD ONE Assessment Team Training Course. This comprehensive collection of assessment information focusses on operationalizing the multidisciplinary team approach as recommended by the Canadian Guidelines for Diagnosis. The material has been compiled by a number of experienced FASD assessment clinicians and many individuals with FASD and family members who experience the impact every day. This training has been reviewed and supported by members of the FASD Ontario Network of Expertise.
Simply register online to get started. The course consists of 4 Online Modules that you can work through at your own pace. The modules consist of different learning modalities (text, graphics, videos, and audio) as well as occasional quizzes to ensure material understanding and retention. The overall goal of this training is to discover how we can put the Canadian Guidelines for FASD Diagnosis Across the Lifespan into action, and to enhance our existing assessment services to be more inclusive of the many in need.
Course Creation and Contributions
We would like to honour the individuals, families, support people and advocates who came before us. People have been working tirelessly for many years without much recognition or understanding from others, i.e. their family doctors, other service providers, school staff, family members and community etc. regarding the unique and very complicated circumstances that are a part of their everyday lives. They are the reason the government has made these recent investments and we want to take a minute to share and stress that the individuals and families who are affected by PAE/FASD are our most important and meaningful teachers.
Contributors to the course through professional expertise or vital lived experience:
Dr. Claire Mitchell, Angela Geddes, Dr. Louise Scott, Janet Carioni, Dr. Kimberly Harris, Mohamed (Mo) Oshalla, Tanya, Tracy Grant, Ashley Rovert, Darlene Durand, Reinier de Smit, and Shannon.
We acknowledge FASD ONE for their ongoing commitment to raising awareness and building system capacity aimed to improve outcomes for people affected by PAE/FASD.
