I can say from the perspective of having been a Speech Language Pathologist of all ages in the school it is important to know the story of children and their families. I would say that understanding the origin of their behavior is important. I think that the staff also have to understand that their responses are based on their own experience with adversity and the stress in some school classrooms is re-traumatizing.
While I agree that an ACE score might not be helpful, knowing that a family is going through divorce or lost a loved one or had a family member be incarcerated is so important. Not only are children acting out some are withdrawing. I know as a child with ACES I wanted my teachers to be aware and there awareness allowed them to connect and guide me to appropriate resources throughout my school experience.
I believe this is about understanding the human condition and being careful not to have too many assumptions about how children need to be treated. Some behavioral plans can be more harmful than helpful and we need to understand how to discern the situation.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond.
