Do You Know How to Talk About Friendships with Your Child? Special Needs Workshop in MassachusettsWebinar, August 5th, 2021, with a Family Support Agency in Massachusetts. The pervasive impact of trauma on a child’s development often manifests in challenging behaviors at school that interfere with his/her access to the curriculum.
* Although the full impact of COVID-19 has yet to be analyzed, this last year has had a profound impact on all students and many have undoubtedly had a traumatic experience due to loss of teacher/peer connections, loss of loved ones, or other extensive family stressors.
* This interactive, online workshop will examine the systemic impact that trauma has on a child’s brain development and behavior.
* Specific, evidence-based interventions that can be utilized in developing behavior support plans for students with a trauma history will be discussed, and participants will have the opportunity to see how these interventions are applied in practice through the use of case studies via “Breakout” rooms.
* Resources and strategies to scale-up behavioral supports and connect school-wide PBIS with trauma-informed practices on a program/school and district-level will also be reviewed.
About the Speakers:
* Anne Donovan is the Director of ACCEPT Education Collaborative’s School Consultation & Assessment Services, and is a licensed special education administrator and Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
* Dr. Jillian Bennett has a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Massachusetts and is also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
