There are a growing number of schools and districts throughout the country engaged in efforts to transform education to become more trauma sensitive. Trauma sensitive schools are intended to help all students feel safe to learn. This session will explore what it means to work toward and identify as a trauma sensitive school and how special education interventions align with these efforts. Discussing issues related to special education interventions that may be trauma inducing will be central to this presentation. A schoolwide trauma sensitive assessment tool incorporating special education practices for teachers, students, parents, and school/district leaders will be provided.
