The Why, What, and How of Trauma-Informed Educational Practices
Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, v7 n6 p1853-1869 Dec 2022
Purpose: Trauma is pervasive in our society, and a history of traumatic stress can have significant detrimental effects on physiological and mental health. The purpose of this tutorial is twofold: to describe trauma, as well as its sources and effects, and to provide practical strategies for communication sciences and disorders educators who are seeking to mitigate the effects of trauma on students. Method: Carello's seven principles of trauma-informed teaching and learning provided the foundation for this work. The universal design for learning and transparency in teaching and learning in higher education frameworks were integrated to develop an extensive list of potential strategies designed to address each of Carello's seven principles. Supporting evidence was drawn from research on various strategies presented here. Conclusion: Although trauma may be a considerable barrier for some students, educators can play a role in supporting these students with trauma-informed educational practices.
