Trauma Informed Middle/High School SLP Therapy
Being a trauma-informed SLP means that we are actively trying to reduce the risk of causing harm. When middle and highschoolers are still in speech at that age, they may be embarrased to see their SLP or refuse all together. By being trauma informed, we increase access to services they need. SLPs will be able to identify the pillars of TIC, implement language changes to help reduce possible harm, trauma, and retraumatization, and identify when clients/students might be dysregulated.
Second Session
