Understanding SEN in Early Years Provision & Impact of Neglect and Early Trauma
Summary (optional)
It can be very difficult for children who have experienced early trauma to engage in learning and feel safe enough to trust the adults around them. Their needs having been consistently unmet can impact their physical, emotional, cognitive and social development. With brains stuck in fear and survival mode, the behaviours they present to manage their stress such as impulsivity, anger, spacing out, disruptive and distressed behaviours can lead to responses that escalate behaviour.
