Reply to "Developmental Disabilities and Trauma"

Hi Diane,
I think you're asking an important question! The CDC estimates 1 in 6 US children has a developmental disability - a huge segment of the population that is even larger when we use a lens that captures their families and communities.
It is estimated that almost half of kids with autism are victims of childhood bullying, whereas the national prevalence estimate for the general population is just under 11%.
Having a child(ren) with a developmental disability can feel isolating. Having a community on ACN where parents and caregivers can to come together in support of one another, share stories and trauma informed practices and resilience building strategies might be one way to reduce isolation and grow resilience!
*I love it - when I searched for resilience building strategies - the first item to pop up was the resource Claire shared! Yea team!
