The video above provides a brief overview of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). As you work with children, some of them will have been exposed to or impacted by trauma. Understanding how a child responds to stress, trauma, etc. Is important to better understand the diverse needs of the children you will work with.

The video above is an example of what an assessment might look like to determine an ACEs score. It is helpful to understand that students you work with may have experienced traumatic events or are currently experiencing a traumatic event. This information may not be available to you when you work with the child. It is also important to understand that all children experience events differently. How one child may respond to an event may be different from how another child may respond. Avoid making assumptions about how the child has or will process the events.
