Red Shoes Rock

September 9th is International FASD Day

What is this about?

In your hallway, classroom, or school there may be students with FASD. You may not know it, as FASD is largely a hidden disability. POPFASD encourages you to wear red shoes on September 9th to raise awareness of FASD.

What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a disability that affects the brain and body of indivicudals who were prenatally exposed to alcohol. It is a lifelong disability. Each person is unique and has strengths and challenges. Providing appropriate, respectful supports will help individuals reach their full potential.

What can I do today?

Begin a 2x10 campaign to build relationships - spend two minutes each day for the next ten days talking to an at-risk student!
