[Podcast] Understanding Trauma at School with Dr. Lori Desautels
Season 2, Episode 4
Hey, Y’all!
On today’s podcast, Dr. Lori Desautels joins me to discuss how students experience trauma at school, and how we need to move away from traditional discipline approaches and towards promoting emotional regulation for students and educators. We dive into practical strategies in an effort to promote a positive learning environment for all students.
Dr. Lori Desautels is an Assistant Professor at Butler University and author of several books, including Connections Over Compliance: Rewiring Our Perceptions of Discipline.
This episode is for teachers wanting to better understand the emotional experience of their neurodivergent students as well as for parents wanting to know what to advocate for when collaborating with their child’s school team.
Happy Learning!
~Dr. Emily

I'm always left with, "I wish" whenever I read or listen to your works! I wish I'd had these resources in my pocket when my kids were teens. Nevertheless, I'm glad to have them now!
