Students Exposed to Trauma, Maltreatment, & Neglect: Getting the Healing Going and the Learning Happening - On Demand Video Series
This 3-part virtual series focuses on trauma, maltreatment and the neglect of children and youth and its profound effect on their social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and academic development. Children and youth with disabilities experience maltreatment at significantly higher rates than children without disabilities.
To better support our students, educators need to understand how to observe, report and prevent maltreatment, what is meant by trauma, maltreatment, and neglect and how its effects are expressed by students in our classroom. For traumatized students to function optimally and get the most out of school, educators must know what it takes to develop resiliency and then apply these strategies to create a classroom/school environment that supports learning.
This series of virtual presentations provides a basis for educators, administrators, and support staff to take an active role in supporting all students. Each session is approximately 75 minutes long. Registration is $59 for all three sessions. You will receive a link to each recorded session as well as links to all the handouts and resources talked about in the video.
