In this episode, Stephanie welcomes Nichole for an important conversation about keeping trauma informed practices in IEPs. This episode is pulled straight from the members only training vault, giving you a peek inside one of the powerful conversations usually reserved for members.

Together, they explore what it truly means to be trauma informed and why this understanding is essential in today’s classrooms. Nichole shares how shifting our reactions and responses through a trauma informed lens can make a lasting difference for students. She also explains how these practices can be written directly into IEPs to create meaningful, long term support.
