Abstract

The education of fetal alcohol effect children differs greatly from the education of stand course of study student. Fetal Alcohol Effect children often have development delays that require their education to be approached with care. Technology is an important aid in the education of special needs students. Technology can be the great equalizer for educating special needs children. When appropriate technology is used, special needs students are able to overcome their specific disabilities and learn what is teaching taught. In order for technology to be used effectively school system must be able to purchase the items requirement to teach special needs students, and teacher and parents must know how to apply these technologies to the education of its students.
Using Technology to leaving No Fetal Alcohol Child Behind
Dedication: God whom strength me. Vincient A.Spears’ adoptive daughter Ebony struggles with Fetal Alcohol Effect.
What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effect? According to NOFAS (National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, 1994) that FAS is a series of severe and irreversible physical and mental birth defects that can include mental retardation, growth deficiencies, craniofacial abnormalities, central nervous system dysfunction and behavioral maladjustments. Children with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) exhibit some but not all of the same symptoms. Both FAS and FAE are associated with lifelong deficiencies in adaptive living skills. The inability to predict consequences, understand social cues or use appropriate judgment in daily life makes it difficult for those affected to achieve favorable outcomes in the classroom.
