Trauma Informed Care

Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt
About this episode

Trauma informed care is a trending topic in our field and here, we discuss how to best incorporate it into our practice. When we talk about trauma, we’re not just referring to the big things, but really anything that happens in our learners’ lives that can make them a bit more sensitive. We want our students’ experience with us to be positive, so we should always go in with a compassionate, holistic approach.

We define the different types of trauma and stress and discuss why relationship building should be your first priority. Trauma is often a function of behavior or a setting event, and we discuss that as well. We also talk about working with parents through a trauma informed lens, putting yourself in your learner’s shoes, and using empathy and validation.

What’s Inside:

  • How to incorporate a trauma informed approach in ABA
  • Using a trauma informed approach with parents
  • How to utilize empathy and validation
