Very helpful information regarding trauma and sensory processing - this is so hard for the foster families I've worked with, but it's a huge area that OT can help support transitions.

It was helpful to learn how trauma can manifest through behaviors and interactions with children. It was also helpful to learn how chronic stress affects our brain and which parts of the brain "shut themselves down" due to cortisol.

I found the course to be nearly identical to her other course on ACES. It was repetitive, which was good for grounding the basic understanding of the material, but it offered very little additional information. The text version, which I followed, had numerous typos which should be corrected as it affected the flow. Also, the visual charts and graphs were so tiny that when enlarged enough to see, the text became blurry.

This was my first course on ACEs though I have heard of the book The Body Keeps the Score from a friend of mine who was an abused child and is an adult in long term recovery. Very clear delineation of the characteristics of ACEs vs other issues that may affect behavior. I also have a fair number of kids on my caseload who are adopted at an older age and have been subject to chronic uncertainty and insecurity in their lives. This course was a fantastic introduction to the topic for me

I liked the content that was original to this course at the end. I had just taken another course (ACEs: Research for Understanding the Early Experiences of Young Children) from this presenter and the first 20-30 minutes of both courses were the exact same material. I think it would have been better to have these 2 classes be a 2-part course instead of trying to make them stand-alone courses. This would make it so there wasn't so much repetition of content.

I wish this was an 8 hr course!

I am now volunteering as a board member for an org that connects mentors to kids in "high risk" settings---which is what made me take this course. The kids are not in "high risk settings" most are experiencing some form of ACES (parent incarcerated

This author's use of language is confusing. I'd like to understand the research better. Is it true that no research exists before the '90s about childhood trauma ? Why were only educated middle class caucasians included in the study ? Was the study ever repeated with a more inclusive cross section of the population in the US ?Two of the charts lack details and are fuzzy. They don't explain the who, where, when... that makes a study like this interesting.
