ECE 222 — Trauma Informed Care in Early Childhood
An examination of the concept of trauma-informed care: an understanding of how trauma changes the brain and affects relationships, self-regulation, sensory processing, learning, and behavior. Students will learn to recognize the behavioral signs of trauma, and how to respond in ways that maintain respect and bring healing for young children and families. Students develop an increased capacity to work with children and families who have experienced trauma. Skills will be reinforced through continued self-reflective practice. 12 (3 lecture hours)
