New Online Course! An Introduction to Money Spending & Financial Planning

Today, we invite you to join us for the launch of our second online course "Money Spending and Financial Planning: An Introduction for Individuals with Neurodiversities"!

We have been working to create a beginner course to introduce individuals to money spending and financial planning after consultation with members in our network where a need for this was established.

In this course, we introduce some of the core concepts of money, spending, budgeting, and saving along with additional resources with further information. This is designed to be a beginner course and accessible for individuals who are neurodiverse.

The course is available on a pay-what-you-can basis. If you would like to support fasdNL and the development of resources, supports and services for individuals with FASD, consider contributing to our efforts. Otherwise, it is available for free.
​
