Overview

Children with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), particularly those who have been in out of home care, face unique challenges in educational settings. This session, led by an educator and carer with lived experience of neurodivergent children impacted by trauma, will explore the profound impact of ACEs on learning, behaviour, and emotional regulation. Attendees will gain insights into the dual perspective of a parent and educator, with practical strategies to create trauma-informed, supportive environments that foster growth, safety, and resilience for all students.
