In this episode, Michelle and Erin are joined by Rachel Archambault, an SLP Program Specialist for Broward County Public Schools and passionate colleague behind the @PTSD.SLP social media advocacy account. “Trauma-informed care” (TIC) has gained traction within our field in the last few years; however, most of us who practice this approach have never received explicit instruction. Where do we begin? Well, that’s what Rachel and Erin break down in this episode. Tune in as they go through the key principles, discuss preferred resources, and then teach us how to clinically apply it to the little ones we serve in all settings: early intervention, private practice, and even public schools!
