The FASD & the IEP Mentorship Coalition is an opportunity for ongoing training designed for people working with students with FASD who have, or need, an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This program recognizes and focuses on the need for ongoing growth and education specific to the needs of students with FASD within the special education system. We meet on the second Thursday of every month from 4:00pm – 5:30pm PT. This mentorship opportunity combines direct interaction, discourse, case studies, and education relating to FASD & the IEP. Group participation and respectful dialogue is encouraged. Some prior knowledge of FASD and of IEPs required. Information on prerequisites and registration available at: https://www.healthymindsconsulting.com/fasd-iep-mentorship-coalition/

January’s topic is IEP Documentation

Ensuring appropriate documentation of FASD in the IEP can be beneficial for securing and implementing appropriate and effective supports and services. We will discuss who should document FASD, what needs to be documented, when documentation should occur, where in the IEP and associated documents FASD should be noted, and why doing so is essential for accessing FAPE.
