NATIONAL AUSTAFE CONFERENCE
IN DARWIN
The Northern Territory,
through Charles Darwin University, is hosting this year's National AUSTAFE
Conference.
It's not often a Vocational
Training and Education (VTE) conference of this calibre is held in our
own backyard, providing the opportunity for industry, school, employer,
funding body and VTE practitioners to attend at a reasonable cost.
Here is YOUR INVITATION
FETAL
ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER DIAGNOSTIC AND SUPPORT SERVICES
In partnership with
the National Organisation for Fetal Alchol Spectrum and Related Disorders
(NOFASARD) and the Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Fund, arbias
Ltd (Alcohol Related Brain Injury Australian Services) has announced Australia's
first Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) diagnostic and support service.
FASD is internationally
recognised as the leading cause of preventable disability in children
in the western world. Throughout Canada and the US there are up to 70
diagnostic and support services dedicated to the early diagnosis, management
and support of people affected by this highly prevalent yet little known
or understood condition. In Australia, there have historically been no
multi disciplinary diagnostic or support services that have enabled this
condition to be diagnosed or adequately managed.
The lack of services
in Australia has resulted in misdiagnosis of this condition, lack of awareness
amongst the general community and health, education and allied welfare
sectors, inappropriate support for people with FASD and their families,
and no uniform response to addressing what is largely a preventable disability.
The FASD Diagnostic
and Support Service began operating in July 2007, and a referral form
for assessment can be downloaded from the arbias
website.
Hard copies of the
FASD services brochure can also be downloaded from the website.
