The students that we had in our care 30 years ago are very different from the students that we work with today. What that has meant is that we […]
The Value of Trauma-Informed Language
I don’t know if this is your experience but lately it seems that every profession has its own terminology. Sometimes the acronyms are completely confusing. Even when reading professional journals they seem to have a host of different abbreviations and expressions that are exclusively contextual to their respective field of endeavor.
