Description

Over the past three years, government has engaged Albertans in wide-ranging conversations about the future of education in Alberta. Three major initiatives included: Inspiring Education: A Dialogue with Albertans; Setting the Direction for Special Education in Alberta, and; Speak Out: The Alberta Student Engagement Initiative. Each of these has played a part in painting a picture of what the future of education should look like. Why is this important to parents and students, to business and the community, to the education system and to government? The upcoming series of meetings are government's opportunity to check in with the public to make certain we are on track to getting the future right for our children.

Description

On November 18 and 19, 2008 approximately 70 key stakeholders with experience and expertise in assessment and diagnosis from across North America gathered in Edmonton to discuss the basic elements of a comprehensive and coordinated system for conducting assessments and developing diagnostic criteria of FASD among adult populations in Alberta. The discussions and presentations on November 18th formed the basis of this discussion paper. Participants were provided an opportunity to review the discussion paper and provide feedback, which has been incorporated into this final version. This document will serve to influence more detailed planning and actions for conducting FASD assessments and diagnoses among adult populations in Alberta and will hopefully be beneficial for jurisdictions elsewhere.
