I likely taught many in my early career as well, although at that time I failed to recognize the signs of trauma or to understand the impact it could have on a child's ability to learn. Trauma may be caused by any number of experiences including, but not limited to: domestic violence, moves from family to family, inconsistent or inadequate care, neglect, or abuse.
