Participants will be able to:
Clearly define 'trauma' as distinct yet related to stress and a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
Define 'trauma-informed'.
Discuss the relevance and appropriateness of special education services for students with trauma histories.
Apply trauma-informed principles to the development of present levels and goals that focus more on skill development rather than compliance.
