The Assessment of Emotional Disturbance and Trauma in Schools: A Case Study Example

This webinar explores emotional disturbance and trauma and how it impacts children in the school setting. We investigate the structure of the Emotional Disturbance Decision Tree (EDDT) and the Feifer Assessment of Childhood Trauma (FACT) and how to use these assessments. A case study will be presented and will include interventions.
