“…Miller, Santos, and Burke (2019) found that school social workers and school psychologists believed providing trauma-informed support through special education service delivery was necessary but did not occur in actual practice due to a lack of staff preparation. Over the last 40 years, multiple calls for action have been made by organizations and researchers to address this growing concern (Council for Exceptional Children [CEC], 2018; Division for Early Childhood [DEC], 2016; McCaffrey & Tewey, 1978; NEA, 1989; Oseroff, Oseroff, Westling, & Gessner, 1999). Nonetheless, researchers continue to find that professionals employed in schools feel unprepared to support children who have experienced abuse and neglect (Anderson, Blitz, & Saastamoinen, 2015; Baxter & Beer, 1990; Costello, 2009; McIntyre, 1987; Miller et al, 2019; San Julian, 2013), and reported that the training they have received in this area is minimal and insufficient (Abrahams, Casey, & Daro, 1992).…”
