Ongoing Support
After an individual receives an FASD diagnosis, a
coordinator is assigned to assist with the development of the best supports for
them and their family members. Coordinators help to locate and link individuals
to available wrap-around services, inform the people in their ‘circle of
support’ so that they might better understand the diagnosis, and assist
individuals to follow through on recommendations made at the time of clinic. We
also assist with transition to other supportive services, and teach families
and individuals to advocate for themselves.
