I will jump in here. I am a special ed director for a school district, but I am also a parent of two children who have trauma backgrounds (we adopted about three years ago). I feel like the old Hair Club for Men commercial where the guy at the end says, "I am not only the president, but I am also a client." I have had the opportunity to do a presentation at the state CEC conference, and will be doing another this summer at the state conference for sp. ed. directors. Some other avenues have opened up too. I am trying to get to the teachers and administrators. My experience is the people with the most knowledge about our kids are social workers and school psychologists; however, they spend minimal time with them. The ones who need the knowledge are the teachers and building administrators (they dole out the discipline) and they know the least. On top of that, I don't find that these folks listen to the people with the knowledge because "they have never been a teacher and don't know what it is like to have them in the class." I feel like once they have the knowledge of the impact of trauma on students, it will help change their perspective and then practices. Just a few other helpful resources in addition to some of the ones mentioned that I liked
