Better Endings New Beginnings has developed a free guidebook for families and caregivers to fill out on behalf of their child, and then give to new teachers, therapists, care providers, etc to help others understand their child better.
One is specific to FASD/prenatal alcohol exposure, the other only mentions brain differences – the info is the same in both booklets. These documents can be found at
http://www.betterendings.org/downloads/AAM_FASD.pdf (specific for children with FASD)
and
http://www.betterendings.org/downloads/AAM_BrainDifferences.pdf (for children with other brain differences)
A checklist of overlapping characteristics is also a helpful tool http://www.betterendings.org/Overlapping_Characteristics.pdf
