Overview:
This book study will take a step-by-step approach to addressing trauma as a part of IEP development -- from referral to family engagement, report writing, and IEP design and implementation. Participants will learn how to:
- Recognize how trauma affects the student's functioning and learn how to consider circumstantial variables when writing IEP goals and objectives
- Write trauma-informed present level statements that focus on skill development rather focusing only on behavioral compliance
- Identify trauma-informed accommodations and make appropriate recommendations for interventions
- Improve family engagement and increase trust during the IEP development process
Topics in the book include 8 Steps for Trauma Screening, 62 Accommodations and Other Related Strategies for Students Who Have Experienced Trauma, Sample Language of Good vs. Bad IEP Goals, and more!
