Too often, children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) go unrecognized or misunderstood—especially when their communication challenges don’t fit into expected profiles. Without tools for early identification, teams may overlook the connection between behaviors and underlying neurodevelopmental needs.
That’s why we created this free FASD Communication Checklist—a printable resource designed to support early recognition, guide team conversations, and improve outcomes for neurodivergent learners.
A quick-reference tool outlining common FASD-related language patterns
Observational examples across receptive, expressive, and pragmatic domains
A resource designed for SLPs, educators, and interdisciplinary school teams
An asy to print, share, and use during planning or consultation meetings checklist
FASD is more common than many professionals realize, yet training and awareness remain limited. With this checklist, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to identify patterns, start meaningful conversations with caregivers and colleagues, and build more supportive environments—starting now.
