Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a growing issue for families across the country. Teachers and other service providers want and need more intense training devoted entirely to FASD. Children and adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are in schools, daycare centers, and mental health agencies across the state and nation. Program courses are aligned with research-based best practices in the field of ASD.
This certificate, offered entirely online, is designed for special education teachers, prospective teachers, and other related professionals who work with children and youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. This certificate holds the distinction of being the only program of its kind in the State of Minnesota.
This three-course online certificate offers the opportunity to expand knowledge and expertise in the area of FASD. Participants will learn research-based best practices in this area. The certificate is designed to be completed in one year.
