Build your schedule - Be sure to read the descriptions!: Please note that adding a session to your schedule DOES NOT guarantee you a seat in the room. We allow attendees to select multiple sessions per time slot when creating their schedule to allow for maximum flexibility on the day of Convention. All sessions are first come, first served, unless otherwise stated in the session description. Some sessions are double sessions and some require pre-registration and may have a fee to cover costs of materials. Please read and follow the instructions in the descriptions. We are excited to include several off-site sessions this year, so be sure to check the location as well.

3. New schedule - There are four time slots when sessions are held on each day. Sessions are 70 minutes long and there is 20 minutes between sessions to allow time to get to the other venue(s) if necessary.

Are challenging behaviours distracting from the overall success of your classroom? We will identify a few "tricks of the trade" when working with students with the common disorder of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Learn to easily interpret 'challenging' behaviours in a different light while discovering new strategies that will benefit all students.
Come to this fun and interactive session with specific questions. There will be opportunities for discussion and engagement. By the end of this session, you will have a refreshed mindset that will prepare you to tackle the most challenging situations.

Session Objectives:
1. The learner will be able to apply their knowledge in the classroom about specific strategies regarding dysregulation, sensory processing, executive functioning, etc.
2. The learner will be able to identify and understand symptoms that students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder may display.
3. The learner will be able to apply new strategies to further increase the overall success and enjoyment within their classroom.
