Using Multimodal Strategies to Teach Children with FASD
Buchanan, Epseba
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v9 n2 p52-56 2017
Teachers who adapt a multisensory approach to teaching learners who have been affected by fetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) will encourage them to be self-supporting, and to excel in the classroom through participating in a myriad of stimulating activities. Researching the learners' unique characteristics will provide teachers with the tools for planning, thereby maximizing the learners' strengths through the introduction of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and simulation strategies. There is no one learning style that suits all learners, and regardless of any learning difficulty experienced by FASD learners due to brain damage, if teachers capitalize on their unique strengths and talents, then they can create a student-centered learning environment wherein less disruptive behaviour is displayed, and more participation is encouraged.
