Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) checklist (PDF)
This checklist is pitched at parents, but it is applicable for Grandcarers looking to explain a range of cognitive, emotional and/or behavioural problems. Consideration of FASD is important given the high prevalence of alcohol use in Australia, and the high prevalence of dual use of alcohol and drugs amongst drug users.

School checklist – key questions to ask (PDF)
Going back-to-school can be an added trauma for a child who is no longer able to live with his/her biological parent(s). It is, therefore, up to us as adults and carers to help the children with this transition, and to prepare the school. Although, unfortunately, there is no simple recipe to decide if a particular school will be able to meet your and your grandchild(ren)’s needs. This list contains key questions that can be used to guide your discussion with the school.
