Speech,
language, and hearing clinicians are often the first group of professionals
that encounter children who have experienced trauma resulting from a history of
maltreatment. This session explores the impact that maltreatment and trauma
have on brain development, language, literacy, and social pragmatic
communication.
This course
is a recorded session from the 2023 ASHA Schools Connect online
