Memory – Difficulty With Retention

Teach reviews math problems with the class. The next day there is a test and Me is unable to recall what he learned the day before, he leaves feeling very defeated. Me has difficulty retaining information.

While viewing a “Challenge”, consider the following questions:

  1. What is happening in this scene?
  2. What is expected of Me?
  3. Using your knowledge of FASD, which brain domains/functions are experiencing challenge?
  4. What is a common interpretation (explanation) of Me’s behaviour?
  5. What are Me’s strengths that can be built on?
  6. What accommodations or strategies could create a better fit for Me, or What did Me need from others?
