FASD Caregivers (part 2) – often times an invisible handicap
Often times individuals with FASD do not display the physical features associated with FASD. Their appearance does not give any hint of the neurological problems that are hidden. Individuals with invisible handicaps are:
- easy to forget about their limitations
- easy to not provide compassion, understanding and forgiveness
Children and adults with FASD need incredible amounts of:
- consistency
- reinforcement
- creativity
- time
- compassion
- understanding
- perseverance
- forgiveness
- repetition
The more dysfunctional – the more of EVERYTHING
