This series developed by the Military Families Learning Network's Early Intervention team within the Special Education Department at Illinois offers a high-level overview of childhood trauma. The module discusses the prevalence, impact, and manifestation of trauma; the connection between disability and trauma; trauma-informed supports; prevention of future trauma; and self-care for professionals. There is also an optional research component, if interested. To learn more and to access this free, self-paced learning module go to https://go.illinois.edu/trauma
