Description

Children with fetal alcohol syndrome present their own special challenges to teachers—challenges that one school has met with wonderful results. This program travels to Winnipeg’s David Livingstone School, a public elementary school with two classrooms uniquely tailored for children with FAS. Teachers and occupational therapists demonstrate and discuss many of their innovative teaching techniques which help compensate for their students’ heightened sensitivity to light and sound.
