Unlike any other, this resource takes 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. You get guidance to develop effective, compliant IEPs for these vulnerable students, including how to:
- Recognize how trauma affects the student's functioning and consider the many circumstantial variables when writing IEP goals and objectives
- Write trauma-informed present level statements that focus more on skill development rather than purely on behavioral compliance
- Identify trauma-informed accommodations and make appropriate recommendations for interventions
- Improve family engagement and increase trust during the IEP development process
- And more
Plus, you get checklists and tools including 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!
