Give FASD a seat at the table

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) can affect many areas of life, including education, healthcare, employment, mental health, and interactions with the justice system.

Because FASD can be a non-apparent disability, people may be overlooked when decisions are being made about the services and supports they need.

Giving FASD a seat at the table means listening to people with lived experience, increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and making sure systems are FASD-informed and inclusive.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

FASD Awareness Month

September is FASD Awareness Month.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing information about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), a group of lifelong disabilities that can affect how a person learns, communicates, remembers, processes information, manages emotions, and navigates everyday life.

This month, we invite you to learn more, challenge misconceptions, and help create communities where people with FASD are understood, supported, and given opportunities to thrive.

Let’s start the conversation.

The biggest lesson from LRE and Olmstead is this: People thrive when they are included.

From classrooms to communities, inclusion creates opportunity, independence, and belonging.

When the final school bell rings, the need for inclusion doesn't end.

Individuals with disabilities deserve the same opportunities as everyone else, to choose where they live, pursue education and employment, build friendships, and be active members of their communities.

Because inclusion isn't just for school. It's for life.

MYTH: One person can’t make a difference.

FACT: Everyone has a role in creating inclusive communities. Small actions—listening, learning, removing barriers, and making others feel welcome—can create meaningful change.

One of the most important lessons students can learn isn't found in a textbook. It's learning that everyone belongs.

Different abilities, different strengths, different supports, one community.

Let's carry that lesson beyond the classroom and into every part of our communities.

Inclusion starts in school and continues throughout life.

When students learn, play, and grow together, they learn that everyone belongs. Inclusive classrooms don’t just benefit students with disabilities, they help every student develop empathy, collaboration, and respect for differences.

Students who grow up in inclusive environments are more likely to carry those values into adulthood, helping create more inclusive workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities.

When we learn and play together, we build stronger schools.
When we live together, we build stronger communities.

Graduation is not the end of inclusion. Individuals with disabilities deserve opportunities to: continue learning, work, choose where they live, and participate in their communities.
