School professionals in districts across the country are increasingly facing the special circumstances and needs of students who have experienced trauma. In addition to the sensitive situations that must be handled with care, staff have to be aware of legal issues and how trauma can impact a student's educational development.

In this recorded 90-minute webinar, attorney Teri E. Engler shares how hearing officers and the courts have addressed these issues and what schools can do better to meet their legal obligations. You get an inside look at how to:

• Identify child find obligations that may apply with respect to students who have experienced trauma
• Recognize students' potential programmatic needs and the legal issues and pitfalls that may arise in addressing those needs
• Determine when and how a student's trauma background may impact disciplinary options and decisions
• Address the discrimination issues that may arise in identifying and responding to students' needs
