Identify and minimise barriers to students successfully demonstrating their understanding.
Key considerations when personalising learning for students with FASD are:

- challenging personal targets
- rapid intervention to keep students on track
- constant and responsive assessment to monitor and maintain progress.

- Create opportunities where students can personalise learning tasks and build on their knowledge, experience, and strengths.
- Develop success criteria with students and present it supported by visuals.
- Encourage and value independent and collaborative work in different formats, such as mind maps, videos, photos, and diagrams, that work for the student.
- Provide opportunities for students to gain confidence using a range of media so they can select the most appropriate to express their learning.
- Make learning support tools available to all students, for example: text-to-speech, graphic organisers, planning tools, and storyboards.
- Use structured, collaborative peer mentoring, and cooperative learning models.
