During the project planning important assumptions were identified in order to manage uncertainty and accommodate unexpected barriers or outcomes. These included:
- Schools and school boards see the value of the WRaP 2.0 project.
- Those involved with children and youth with FASD in the education sector will benefit from professional development and instructional coaching that will result in:
- Enhanced knowledge of FASD, FASD assessment and diagnosis, and FASD support strategies.
- Enhanced knowledge and skills regarding FASD-informed classroom strategies, and individualized support plans for students with FASD.
- This in turn will result in an increased ability to address the unique needs of children and youth with FASD.
- There is a need for enhanced, mutually beneficial partnerships and communication between parents and caregivers of children and youth with FASD, community FASD service providers, and teachers and school stakeholders.
- Parent and caregivers will benefit from learning about FASD-informed classroom strategies and individualized support plans for students with FASD, to enhance partnership and collaboration with the education sector and better address the unique needs of children and youth with FASD.
- FASD Service Networks and community service providers will benefit from learning about FASD-informed classroom strategies and individualized support plans for students with FASD, to enhance partnership and collaboration with the education sector and better address the unique needs of children and youth with FASD.
- Alberta FASD Service Networks have the capacity to implement the project.
