Are you a secondary school staff member in the city of Edinburgh? Are you interested in being part of FASD research? We are involved in a research study on this topic and would be really grateful if you would consider taking part. It is a great opportunity for education professionals to find out about FASD resources. 

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a very common neurodevelopmental condition and disability, which is a result of an alcohol exposed pregnancy. Miranda Eodanable, PhD researcher at Edinburgh University and educational psychologist, has started to recruit secondary school staff in Edinburgh for a new study. Miranda is very interested in understanding what would help school staff support pupils with FASD.

If you have some experience with pupils with suspected or confirmed FASD (even if a little)- you would be very welcome. The research involves a 5 minute questionnaire and an online focus group. The focus group will be online and a relaxed space for Miranda to show resources and to hear your thoughts. There are lots of great resources to take away and potential training opportunities offered.

Please share this with anyone who might be interested. If you would like to sign up – please email Miranda on Miranda.Eodanable@ed.ac.uk or DM @FASDPhDresearch

Thanks Dr Sinead Rhodes
