For Teachers and Schools
FASD School Support Toolkit
Free, practical tools to plan, deliver and review support for pupils with FASD or similar needs.
FASD Compass · fasdcompass.co.uk/school-support-toolkit/
Practical, free tools for teachers, SENCOs, ALNCos and support staff working with pupils who have FASD, possible FASD or similar needs. Everything here is needs-led. You do not need a diagnosis to use it.
Needs first, not labels
These tools do not diagnose or rule out FASD or any other condition. They are not clinical assessments. Support in school should be based on the pupil’s needs and does not depend on a diagnosis.
