This document provides information about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and strategies for working with students who have academic or behavioral issues related to FASD. It begins with discussing common misconceptions about FASD and establishes that it is a lifelong brain disorder caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The document then outlines several barriers to learning and behavior that students with FASD may experience, such as difficulties with memory, abstract concepts, and following multiple directions. It suggests evidence-based strategies and tools to address each barrier, such as breaking tasks into single steps, using visual supports, and providing structured routines and environments. Technology tools are also recommended to help with organization. Overall, the strategies emphasize simplifying environments,
What is we made a mistake, and told parents their kid has ADHD when in fact they just can't breathe properly? It may be that up to half of kids labelled as having ADHD actually have something else entirely.
ADHD- Controlling The Mental Itch With HomeopathyWelcome Cure LLP
Millions of children below age of 17 suffer from ADHD worldwide. Children with ADHD commonly have problems paying attention or concentrating. If not treated on time it can lead to uncontrollable anger, erratic and anti-social conduct that tends to strain relationships with parents, siblings and peers. Babies with very low birth weight have an increased risk of developing ADHD. Homeopathy reduces the aggressiveness, restlessness and obstinacy of the child. Homeopathy promotes a happy, constructive, productive, creative development of the child.

The term ADHD refers to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition that makes it difficult for children to pay attention and/or control their behavior. Learn more about about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain and results in a variety of inappropriate and maladaptive behaviors. ADHD is not a disease (Kajander 1995) but is a processing deficit that results in children having difficulty with inhibitory control. That is, children with ADHD lack self-control, something they cannot help. In children with ADHD, the parts of the brain that control attention and stop inappropriate behavior are underdeveloped (Barkley 1996; Kajander 1995). ADHD occurs three times more frequently in male students than female students (Reeve et al. 1995) and commonly occurs with other disorders. For example, ADHD occurs in 20 percent to 50 percent of the students with learning disabilities, in 65 percent of the students with oppositional defiant disorder, and in 20 percent to 30 percent of the students with conduct disorder (Reeve et al. 1995; Barkley 1990).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

FASD
1. Got Academic or Behavior
Problems: What’s FASD got
to do with it?
Cheryl A. Wissick, Ph.D. University of South Carolina
Presentation adapted from information from
Dan Dubovsky, FASD Specialist, FASD Center CFE, SAMHSA
Roger Zoorob, M.D., Meharry Medical College
& Support from
South Carolina Collaborative FASD

Simulation: http://www.come-
over.to/FAS/SimTest.htm
5. Objectives
What do you know? Pre evaluation
What do you want to know?
Establish a goal for today
FASD: overview and misconceptions
Academic Solutions
Behavioral Solutions
6. FASD: Fast Facts
FASD – 100% preventable, 0% curable
If you are pregnant, don’t drink.
If you drink, don’t get pregnant.
Exposure to alcohol can affect the
brain development at any time
during pregnancy.
FASD leading preventable cause of
ID in Western World
7. FASD
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders is
not a diagnostic category, but
rather an umbrella term describing
the effects that can occur in a
person whose mother drank alcohol
during pregnancy.
FASD is what a person has not what
a person is.
8. Misconception #1
You know a child has been affected by
alcohol by the way he/she looks.
Facial effects decrease as children age
Full facial effects are only required for a
diagnosis if one cannot substantiate that
the mother drank during pregnancy.
FASD is much broader than just FAS
FAS has dysmorphic facial features, growth
deficit and CNS abnormality
9. Misconception #2
Students with a FASD all have severe
intellectual disabilities
Students with a FASD can have a range of
abilities from severe intellectual
disabilities to learning disabilities (IQ
range 20-110)
Students with a FASD can be labeled as
having ADHD, ODD, Personality
disorder, Learning Disability, Depression
but FASD is the umbrella
Leading cause of ID but only 25% have ID
10. Misconception #3
FASD is not as prevalent as Autism
More children are affected by alcohol
than the number of students identified as
having autism spectrum disorders
FASD is not as publicized due to stigma
Good data are not collected on the
incidence of FASD – only birth records of
mothers “known” to drink are recorded.
11. Misconception #4
Alcohol does not cause as much
damage as cocaine or heroin.
Alcohol has long range effects on
behavior and brain functioning.
FASD is a lifelong disorder.
12. Misconception #5
If there is no cure, then why bother
with identification.
Early identification helps provide
structure and a stable environment.
Early identification can assist with
strategies for instruction
13. Misconception #6
Only women who are alcoholics give
birth to babies with a FASD.
We cannot predict how much alcohol
exposure will lead to a FASD.
What constitutes one drink is much
smaller than what we usually consider.
FASD is more prevalent in middle to
upper class situations than lower class.
14. Misconception #7
If I use evidence based practices the
student will respond, otherwise the
student is not trying.
Students do not respond to typical
language-based approaches.
We have to shift thinking to what is
wrong with the curriculum and not
what what is wrong with the
student.
15. So how do we know or
when to consider a FASD?
Students who do not respond to
Research & Evidence based
strategies
Students do not respond to typical
rewards and consequences
Students who appear to be
unmotivated and unresponsive
18. Use Strengths Based Approach
What do they do well?
What do they like to do?
What are their best qualities?
What are your funniest experiences
with them?
Identify strengths in family,
teachers, community, school
Always focus on the individual first
19. “Typical” strengths
Friendly Determined
Likeable Have points of
Verbal insight
Helpful Good with younger
children or elderly
Caring
Hard Worker
20. UDL* Model
Paradigm shift: Move from viewing the
individual as failing to viewing the
program as not providing what the
individuals need. (Dubovsky)
Identify Barriers to learning and then
list possible solutions to those barriers.
Identify specific barriers in your
classroom
Link technology tools to assist students
* Universal Design for Learning
21. Barrier to learning
Verbal expressive ability is much more
advanced than verbal receptive skills or
ability to produce written products.
Students can talk the talk but not walk the
walk.
Do not assume that what they say is
indicative of what they know
Allow them to provide verbal explanation
and interpretation of what something
means or have them demonstrate
22. Barrier to learning
Can’t process several directions at once
Provide one direction at a time.
Student with ODD still won’t comply but a
child with FASD will complete task.
Create visual task analysis charts
-Interactive Excel chart
Provide a checklist
23. Barrier to learning
Cannot keep track of multiple plans,
each with several goals and a number
of steps per goals
Students take part in IEP but they do not
understand all the aspects, provide
positive feedback, provide checklist.
Students cannot be responsible to follow
their own behavior plan
Work on one goal at a time.
24. Barrier to learning
Can’t remember what they were
supposed to do when (whether its an
hour, day or week after being told)
Working and short term memory ideas
Reduce Cognitive Load
Use of texting to remind young adults.
Set alarms or reminders
25. Barrier to learning
Cannot understand abstract concepts
Teach underlying skills
Provide manipulatives
Use concrete examples
Role play to act out concepts
Provide Examples & NOT-examples of
concepts
26. Barrier to learning
Cannot filter what they are thinking
Support points of insight
Foster their creative ideas,
Model journaling without censorship or
grading
They don’t mean to be rude or intrusive,
just say what they think.
Model good ways to speak your mind
27. Barrier to learning
Say they know what they need to do
but they cannot show they can do it
Have them act out what to do
Have them complete an example
Provide guided practice
28. Barrier to learning
Literal thinking
Be careful of specific directions, they will do
what they are told.
Do not use sarcasm, joking, similes,
metaphors, proverbs, idiomatic expressions.
Do a task analysis of a skill, do not assume
that the students will fill in a step
Explain & consider misinterpretations of
words
29. Barrier to learning
Difficulty with number concepts:
time, money, measurement
Provide direct instruction for time & money
Provide schedules for month, mark off each
day.
Provide support for shopping with a peer to
help with money
Set alarms or timer
30. Barrier to Behavior Management
Try to “go along with the crowd” so
that they have friends.
Model their peers, so provide positive ones
Provide Social skills training
Work on Strengths
Identify positive role models and foster
those relationships as they won’t thrive on
their own
Do better in 1-to-1 situation
31. Barrier to Behavior Management
Does not learn by experiencing
consequences of their behavior
Short term consequences –no more than 1 day
Do not use natural consequences
USE positive reinforcement - immediately
Use repeated role playing
Do not take away what they like to do as a
consequence for their behavior.
32. Barrier to Behavior Management
Act oppositional or angry
Brain might be overloaded
Try using fewer directions or only one
Find out if student knows what to do
Find out if student understands the
directions and can do the academic task
Provide a chill-out space when they start
to get frustrated.
33. Barrier to Behavior Management
Keep breaking the rules
Rather be bad, instead of be stupid.
Make sure rules are simple, in a positive
form
Have students explain what the rule
means and not just repeat the rule
Act out the rules or see if they can
provide a Not-Example
34. Barrier to Behavior Management
Problems with lying.
Students do not have a good sense of a
timeline, so they fill in the gaps
Discover the “purpose” of the lying, a
behavior analysis
Verify the person’s story from credible
sources, not always peers.
Not always a connect between what they feel
to how they act so they might “look” like
lying.
35. Barrier to Behavior
Problems with Adaptive Behavior
Direct instruction for daily living skills
Increase support for older students by
providing relevance of academic skills to
daily living
Understand that supporting typical
organization skills is not enabling
36. Barrier to Behavior Management
Difficulty making & maintaining friends.
Provide positive mentors
Foster relationships through strengths &
interests
Social skill training so that others do not see
them as weird, strange, being inappropriate
Find something that student likes to do and
let them do that regardless of their behavior
Be careful about their attitudes about death
(people who die get lots of attention, death be at peace)
37. People who
are on the
other side of People I can
the fence,
who are not
hang around
good friends. with are in
my circle
People who are on the
fence.
38. Overall Strategies
Simplify the individual’s environment
Use of a lot of repetition, more than
what we think based on their intellect
& verbal behavior.
Provide one direction or rule at a time.
De-stress situations as it creates
cortisol in their brain.
Do not use ZERO Tolerance policies- add
in the IEP considerations
39. Technology Tools: Organization
Start with tools EARLY so by middle
school they are automatic and not
an add on
Livescribe Pen
Todo lists:
Jing: video and screenshots
Excel interactive chart
Visual models
40. Take home information
Modify approaches to meet needs based
on brain damage
Simplify the environment and add
structure.
Listen when they tell you that they
cannot do something but they are trying
as they learn differently
They do get frustrated: like trying to
put together something from IKEA daily
