Is This a Learning Disability or Is This Childhood Trauma?

Dr. Ivy Bonk joins Laura Axtell on Podclassed as they discuss the impact of childhood trauma on student learning.

Rather, they were struggling in school due to traumatic experiences. This episode includes how you can recognize trauma, what educators can do, and what systemic supports are needed to make a difference for these students.
