Autism & Trauma: Understanding the Overlap and Supporting Students Effectively
We will explore the critical intersection between neurodiversity and trauma-informed practice in schools.
Designed specifically for teachers, school leaders, support staff, and educational professionals, this session will deepen your understanding of how trauma can present in autistic students- and how autism can sometimes mask or mimic trauma responses.
Participants will gain clarity on behavioral differences, sensory considerations, emotional regulation challenges, and the impact of stress on learning and engagement.
