| Abstract: |
Trauma can profoundly impact a child's ability to learn, with adverse effects on memory, focus, and emotional regulation. The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 acknowledged the importance of schools using evidence-based, trauma-informed practices. However, the complex nature of school systems has posed challenges to implementing trauma-informed practices in educational settings. This article can help school psychologists understand the empirical evidence supporting a multitiered system of support (MTSS) framework to implement trauma interventions. This will equip them to effectively collaborate with school teams to integrate strategies into everyday practices and foster a supportive and caring environment for all students. |
