In celebration of International FASD Awareness Month, Piruqatigiit Resource Centre has launched our FASD Handbook for Educators: How Nunavut Educators can Create FASD-Informed Schools. This handbook provides FASD and neurodiversity knowledge-sharing from a strengths-based approach, anchored in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit practices and values of inclusion and meeting learners where they are at.

Our handbook is available for digital download for all Government of Nunavut Department of Education staff through the GN and for anyone interested in learning more from our website in Inuktitut and English.

We wish to acknowledge our funders over the years who have made our work and this project possible:

  • The Government of Nunavut
  • Makigiaqta Inuit Training Corporation
  • Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.Sept 2024_FASD Educators Handbook_PiruqatigiitThank you for supporting locally based knowledge and culturally safe approaches to this important work.
