Are you a parent or a teacher? Work with or support students or learners? Looking for ideas and best practices on how to help individuals with FASD? Following aggression, school is one of the most talked-about challenges caregivers ask for support or advice. When I heard about the return of a special FASD education program in Alberta, I reached out to my friend Danna Ormstrup, the Director of the Foothills Fetal Alcohol Society and an FASD Instructional Coach with the Wrap2FASD program. 

In this episode. we find out what the WRaP program is, but more importantly for caregivers and those working with or around students, we find out what capacity building is and the steps you can take to start building partnerships for the success of students, teachers, and caregivers. 

Danna also tells us about a unique new program she is introducing that combines students, herself, a guidance counselor, and drums, the difference between having two teachers who “get you” versus two who don’t, and her favorite part of her new role. 

And while the tips she gives can be applied anywhere, Danna gives you an elevator pitch on how to get this program in your school if you are in Alberta. From our conversation, we learn just how passionate she is about success. If you want more information check out our website link in the Show Notes.
