Organising a birthday party is never an easy task. It is even more challenging for children with a neurodevelopmental disability such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This booklet aims to help with the process of planning a party specifically for children with FASD. It reflects the ideas and experiences of parents and carers who have managed to deliver some well-organised parties after learning the hard way. By breaking down the steps, this booklet hopes to provide useful advice and strategies on how you can make birthdays fun for children with FASD.
Confirmation of a FASD diagnosis for their child often comes with a tumult of emotions for parents and carers – relief that they have an answer for the challenges their child experiences, grief due to the knowledge that this is a life-long condition, and confusion how to move forward to achieve the best possible outcomes for their child. This guide provides practical information to assist parents and carers – with key facts about behaviours, struggles, affect regulation, memory challenges and characteristics that are likely to be encountered across their child’s lifetime as they grow and develop.
This toolkit is a comprehensive guide of current information, strategies, resources and accessible links to a range of information and documents.
This guide is designed for caregivers and professionals who, in their everyday lives, encounter children and youth affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
