There will a brief recap on ACEs and what these may look like in adopted learners. We will briefly share information about the effect of early trauma on brain development, the ability to regulate emotions and therefor to learn.  We will look at different attachment styles and how they may present in the classroom and the impact of sensory processing difficulties that may result from both of these. There will be opportunities for participants to share their experiences and to find out about practical ways to help adopted, as well as other vulnerable learners in the classroom.
