It leads to a myriad of deficits related to neurodevelopment and neuroprocessing, which causes disruptions in academic performance, emotional and behavioural regulation, and school attendance. By becoming trauma-informed, schools can mitigate these adverse experiences and promote positive experiences within the learning environment. Through professional development and the implementation of social-emotional learning and trauma-sensitive policies, educators can combat the negative role of maltreatment on the academic success of maltreated students.  \nCommunities, families, and children experience the impacts of child maltreatment everyday. Experiencing direct or indirect harm at the hands of someone a child trusts can make that child vulnerable to a number of short-and long-term consequences (Child Trends, 2018;  \nGovernment of Canada, 2012) . Five types of maltreatment are identified in the literature: physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, emotional harm, and exposure to family violence. The 2008 Canadian Incidence Study on Reported Child Abuse and Neglect reported 85,440 substantiated child maltreatment-related investigations (Trocmé et al. , 2010, p. 3) . Children spend a third of their days within the formal school setting; thus, it is important to acknowledge the effects upon academic achievement and educational outcomes related to child maltreatment. Embracing a school-wide trauma-informed perspective requires adopting a trauma-sensitive lens, implementing professional development, adding social-emotional learning to the curriculum, and shifting policy to reflect trauma-informed approaches (Flatow, Blake, & Huang, 2015; Phifer & Hull, 2016) . Trauma-informed schools are a way to mitigate the negative effects of maltreatment and promote the success of all students.  \nMaltreatment’s Impact on Children  \nChildhood maltreatment has serious implications for the neurodevelopment of children, which can lead to impairments in the areas of neuro-processing, functioning, and learning (Romano, Babchishin, Marquis, & Frechette, 2015) . When children are deprived of healthy, prosocial interactions and experiences in their homes, and are exposed to harm and chaos, they become vulnerable to a myriad of deficits in relation to key developmental processes. Maltreatment can negatively impact children’s ability to perform academically, respond emotionally and behaviourally to their environment, and attend school. Exposure to maltreatment is detrimental to the healthy development of children and leads to significant challenges as children venture through their educational journeys.  \nNeurological Impact  \nTo understand the impact of maltreatment on academic achievement, one must first understand its role in the neurological development of children. When exposed to different forms of harm, such as physical abuse or neglect, the brain may experience instances of “insufficient sensory exposure” (omission of nurture) and/or “atypical activation of neurons”(subjection to harm) (Romano et al. , 2015, pp. 420, 431) . Early-age stressors and the absence of healthy parental-child relationships can be influential during sensitive periods of growth and brain development, and may lead to significant changes to its anatomy (Ortiz-Ospina , 2017; Romano et al. , 2015) . The disruption of healthy anatomical brain development interrupts normal  \nprocesses in the brain and can ultimately lead to educational difficulties because of impairmentsin an array of neuro-processing functions (Romano et al. , 2015) . Memory, language, concentration, regulation, behaviour, perception, and cognition deficits can occur as a result of the neurodevelopmental impairments that accrue from child maltreatment – all of which are vital to learning (Institute of Medicine and","cbCaiatxPRKANC9r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiatxPRKANC9r","pdf",320980,"English","# Abstract\n# Maltreatment’s Impact on Children\n## Neurological Impact\n## Developmental Processes","[{\"question\":\"How does childhood maltreatment affect students academically?\",\"answer\":\"Childhood maltreatment impairs neurodevelopment and neuroprocessing, leading to disruptions in academic performance and school attendance while undermining learning-related functions.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the neurological impacts connected to maltreatment?\",\"answer\":\"Exposure to harm such as abuse or neglect can contribute to insufficient sensory exposure or atypical neuronal activation, and can disrupt brain anatomy and neuroprocessing functions supporting learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What does a trauma-informed school approach include?\",\"answer\":\"A school-wide trauma-informed perspective emphasizes trauma-sensitive lenses, educator professional development, social-emotional learning in the curriculum, and policy shifts to reflect trauma-informed practices.\"}]","The Importance of Trauma-Informed Schools for Maltreated Children | PDF",1792079999,18]
