### Specialized Residential School Application for Students with FASD

Finding the right educational environment for students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) can be challenging. Our specialized residential school application form is designed to gather comprehensive information about each student's unique needs, strengths, and support requirements to ensure we can provide the most effective FASD-informed education and care.

#### Understanding FASD and Specialized Educational Needs

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder affects each student differently, impacting areas such as executive function, sensory processing, social skills, memory, and emotional regulation. Our residential school program is specifically designed to support students with FASD through evidence-based teaching strategies, structured routines, sensory-friendly environments, and individualized support plans.

This application form helps families share essential information about their child's diagnosis, developmental history, current abilities, challenges, and specific accommodations that have proven effective. By collecting detailed information upfront, our team can better assess program fit and begin developing a personalized education and support plan before the student arrives.

#### A Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based Approach

We recognize that families navigating FASD often face multiple systems and extensive paperwork. This application is designed to be comprehensive yet compassionate, gathering necessary information while honoring each student's story and potential. We ask about strengths, interests, and what brings your child joy—not just challenges and deficits.

Our FASD-informed approach recognizes that traditional behavioral expectations often don't account for the neurological differences present in FASD. Instead, we focus on environmental modifications, visual supports, executive function scaffolding, and relationship-based interventions that meet students where they are.

#### What Makes Our Program Different

**FASD-Informed Teaching:** All staff receive extensive training in FASD neurobiology and evidence-based teaching strategies. We understand that students with FASD often need concrete, repetitive instruction with visual supports, shortened work periods, and frequent breaks.

**Executive Function Support:** Daily routines include explicit teaching of organizational skills, time management, planning, and self-regulation. Visual schedules, timers, checklists, and adult coaching help students develop independence at their own pace.

**Sensory-Friendly Environments:** We assess each student's sensory needs and provide accommodations such as quiet spaces, sensory tools, movement breaks, modified lighting and sound environments, and individualized seating options.

**Small Class Sizes:** Low student-to-teacher ratios ensure each student receives individualized attention and can work at their own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

**Therapeutic Support:** Integrated occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, counseling, and behavioral support services address the whole child.

**Family Partnership:** We work collaboratively with families, recognizing that you are the experts on your child. Regular communication, family visits, and involvement in care planning are essential to our approach.

#### How Paperform Streamlines the Application Process

Managing applications for specialized residential programs requires collecting extensive information while maintaining a supportive, accessible experience for families. Paperform's flexible form builder allows our admissions team to create a comprehensive application that feels approachable rather than overwhelming.

**Conditional Logic for Personalized Pathways:** Different students have different needs. Using Paperform's conditional logic, we show relevant questions based on previous answers—for example, only asking about specific behavioral supports if a family indicates behavioral challenges, or requesting IEP documentation only if applicable.

**Document Upload for Supporting Materials:** Families can securely upload diagnostic reports, IEPs, psychological evaluations, medical records, and other supporting documentation directly within the form, eliminating the need for separate email submissions or mailed paperwork.

**Progress Tracking:** Long applications can be exhausting for families already managing complex needs. Paperform allows applicants to save their progress and return later, reducing stress and ensuring thoughtful, complete responses.

**Clear, Accessible Design:** The form can be designed with FASD-friendly principles in mind—clear headings, simple language, visual organization, and a calming color scheme that reduces cognitive load for both students and parents completing the application.

#### Automating Follow-Up with Stepper

Once an application is submitted, the real work begins. Using Stepper (stepper.io), our AI-native workflow automation tool, residential schools can create seamless post-submission processes:

 - **Automatic acknowledgment emails** to families confirming receipt and outlining next steps
 - **Internal task assignment** to admissions coordinators, clinical directors, and educational specialists for application review
 - **Document verification workflows** to ensure all required materials are present and complete
 - **CRM updates** to track application status, scheduled interviews, and decision timelines
 - **Calendar invites** for family interviews, campus visits, or assessment appointments
 - **Conditional routing** based on program fit, waitlist status, or need for additional information

Stepper integrates directly with Paperform submissions, turning each application into an organized, trackable process that ensures no family falls through the cracks and every application receives timely, thoughtful review.

#### Who This Form Is For

This application template is designed for:

 - **Residential schools** specializing in FASD, developmental disabilities, or neurodevelopmental disorders
 - **Special education programs** offering therapeutic boarding school environments
 - **Treatment centers** providing educational services alongside clinical care
 - **Educational consultants** helping families navigate placement options
 - **School administrators** seeking to streamline admissions for specialized programs

#### Supporting Families Through the Application Journey

Applying to a residential program is both hopeful and difficult. Families want the best for their children while grappling with the reality that their child needs more support than is available in their current setting. This form template honors that complexity by asking meaningful questions, providing space for narrative responses, and creating a foundation for partnership between families and our school community.

Whether you're a school administrator, admissions director, or special education professional, using Paperform to manage your application process means you can focus less on paperwork logistics and more on what matters most: understanding each student, supporting each family, and building a community where students with FASD can truly thrive.
