Case Conferences
Case conferences are an opportunity for caregivers and professionals supporting an individual with FASD to come together with members of the Halton FASD Resource Team to discuss using an FASD informed approach. This can include learning about how the brain-based needs of an individual with FASD are contributing to current challenges, and how to reframe support through core philosophies about an FASD informed approach. Note, the individual with FASD does not attend a case conference.
The goal of a Halton FASD Case Conference is to provide the most current practice philosophy and principles in the field of FASD and to apply this knowledge specifically to the work being done to support the child, youth or adult you are working with.
These case conferences may assist with:
- A better understanding of the strengths and needs of individual with FASD
- Creating a shared understanding and priorities to be addressed in supporting the individual with FASD
- Assistance in creating a plan for next steps to support the individual with FASD
Who Attends?
Any member of the support team (i.e., teachers, educations assistants, respite workers, etc.) are welcome to participate. With consent, case conferences can be requested by any member of the support team. The individual with FASD does not attend the case conference.
The case conference does not include direct access to services, diagnosis or medical consultation.
It is strongly encouraged that all participants attend an awareness presentation prior to booking a Case Conference.
