Educating FASD-affected children requires a thorough understanding of identifiable and non-identifiable characteristics, common behavioural and social traits, and effective teaching strategies. This knowledge will help educators and families to support the diverse needs of affected children and promote success both inside and outside of the classroom.  \nFor students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), school can be an unforgiving place. Because most students with FASD attend regular schools, determining suitable programming and using appropriate teaching strategies can be challenging for even the most experienced teacher (Blackburn, Carpenter, & Egerton, 2010) . Teachers need to develop a thorough understanding of FASD, and of the trademark characteristics and other labels that fall within the FASD “umbrella” (Blackburn & Whitehurst, 2010, p. 123) . Students who have been diagnosed with FASD exhibit numerous characteristics that often mirror other behavioural or attention-related disorders (Blackburn et al. , 2010) . This deception can hinder appropriate planning for FASD-affected students. Developing learner profiles and individualized learning pathways for FASD-affected students requires a team approach and family support (Mitten, 2013; Symons, 2008) . However, local services and resources for families, including children in adoptive or foster care, can be limited or non-existent, depending on the geographic location (Fuchs, Burnside, Marchenski, & Mudry, 2010) . The enduring nature of FASD, and the social stigma associated with it, compel educators to understand the lifelong implications, along with developing suitable programming and parental support, in order to promote a positive learning experience for affected students.  \nDue to the prevalence of FASD, the sheer complexity of the disorder, and the poor prognosis for students whom it affects, FASD remains a topic for concern in today’s classrooms. The effect of alcohol on infants born to mothers who drank while pregnant was first noted in 1968 by Lemoine in France and then named fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) by Jones and Smith in 1973 (Blackburn et al. , 2010) . FASD is completely preventable and continues to be the most common cause of intellectual disabilities in the Western world, affecting 1-6 in 1,000 live births (Blackburn & Whitehurst, 2010, p. 124; Fuchs et al. , 2010, p. 233) . In Manitoba First Nations communities, the estimated FASD occurrences are as high as 55-101 per 1,000 live births (Fuchs et al. , 2010, p. 234) . These frightening statistics must alert educators to recognize a need for further understanding of the problem, especially in consideration of the stigma attached to FASD.  \nBecause FASD is the title given to a range of effects and characteristics, it is important for educators to note the subtle differences and appropriate labels. Four labels describe prenatal exposure to alcohol: “fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), alcohol related birth defects (ARBD), and partial fetal alcohol syndrome (PFAS)” (Blackburn & Whitehurst, 2010, p. 123) . Children with FASD have both intellectual and physical disabilities, all of which are presented on a broad spectrum (Winzer, 2002) . Physical and intellectual damage depends on several factors, including the quantity of alcohol and timing of consumption by the mother, and the mother’s present health and medical condition (Whitehurst, 2011) . By understanding the subtle differences between the FASD labels, educators can correctly identify other common characteristics.  \nFASD-affected children are often born with noticeable characteristics.
