Understanding the impact of trauma on a student's functioning is crucial for educators, and it is essential to incorporate this awareness into the Individualized Education Program (IEP) development process. By considering trauma variables when formulating IEP goals and objectives, educators can tailor interventions to address the specific needs arising from trauma. It is important to shift the focus from solely behavioral compliance to skill development in trauma-informed present level statements. Additionally, identifying trauma-informed accommodations and recommending appropriate interventions ensures that the support provided is sensitive to the student's experiences. Moreover, fostering family engagement and building trust during the IEP development process are key components of creating a supportive and collaborative environment for the student's overall well-being and academic success.
