Trauma has a negative effect on a child's ability to learn. Trauma has been linked to smaller brain size, diminished IQ, anti-social behavior and aggression.
In order to learn techniques that can mitigate these deficits, my students need access to books that will help them develop coping strategies so that their minds are free of stress and available for learning.
