The main things to ask for are a financial allowance and also ask for money for training for you (The FASD Trust provides parent workshops); ask for funding for the teachers at school to go for training, and also the ability to queue jump so that when you want expert support, you can be referred in more quickly.

Thank you , is there any guidance re financial allowances ?

Or someone with experience of what sort of ammounts would be appropriate ?

Hi support seems to differ greatly between different authorities and your own circumsances and weather the child is adopted etc support plans should be put in place prior to this if I can be of any help forward a contact no and I will speak to you privately
