FULL FOR TERM 3: Workshop 4: Foetal Alcohol Syndrome and ADHD. Facilitators: Kirsty Griffith and Shelley Paul
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (AD(H)D)
This session will be a basic introduction to FASD and AD(H)D to gain understanding of the brain to remove the blame from those affected. For FASD we will demonstrate the effect alcohol has on the developing brain and how this impacts on learning and creates misinterpretations. For ADHD we will look at how the brain develops differently and the impact this can have in the classroom. For both, executive functioning: planning, time, organising, working memory, metacognition etc is often impacted to degreeing levels. We will provide practical strategies for you to take away and use to support your students.

Vicki Karetai (Teacher - Lower Moutere School)
Based at the top of the South Island the Te Tauihu Collaborative group is focussed on environmental education in the widest context of community. We are committed to working together to understand the full extent of environmental education for the benefit of the whole community, and creating opportunities to make connections and encourage conversations and collaborations. We look for opportunities to work together or match schools and teachers with the best programme for their learning journey. Our first priority is getting to know each other and what we do. In 2023 we are focussing on letting teachers know about the environmental education opportunities.
