Description

Dr. Ivy Bonk joins Laura Axtell on Podclassed as they discuss the impact of childhood trauma on student learning. Dr. Bonk began her research when she realized many students who were being referred for Special Education services, didn't truly have a learning disability. Rather, they were struggling in school due to traumatic experiences. This episode includes how you can recognize trauma, what educators can do, and what systemic supports are needed to make a difference for these students.
