Neurodivergent-Affirming Support for Students with Extensive Support Needs

Neurodivergent Affirming Support for Students with Extensive Support Needs (New!)

Students with extensive support needs often have complex learning profiles that include differences in communication, sensory processing, regulation, and cognitive development. When these differences are not well understood, student behavior can be misinterpreted or difficult for teams to interpret, making it challenging to identify the supports students need to successfully participate in school. This training introduces a neurodivergent-affirming framework for supporting Extensive Support Needs (ESN) students by examining how communication, predictability, meaningful engagement, and supportive instructional design influence behavior and participation. Participants will explore practical strategies for interpreting behavior, strengthening proactive supports, and designing classroom environments that increase access, autonomy, and engagement for students with complex learning profiles.

The Impact of Trauma at School: Understanding, Assessment, and Intervention

The Impact of Trauma at School: Understanding, Assessment, and Intervention

According to data published in 2020 by the National Survey of Children's Health, an estimated 33 percent of children in every state have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). Individuals working in schools are becoming increasingly aware that many students are struggling with the psychological aftermath of exposure to trauma. By default, schools have become the frontline defense. They are tasked with recognizing students who have trauma-related symptoms and supporting them in overcoming their distress in order to promote academic learning and healthy social and emotional development. This training provides information about the impact of trauma on students' capacities to benefit from their educational programs, the signs and symptoms to look for when screening students for trauma-related problems, and assessment tips to help determine the extent to which a particular student's difficulties are likely related to traumatic experiences. A brief overview of evidence-based strategies to address trauma through school-based mental health services is also included along with resources to assist in service planning.
