The A-Z of Trauma-Informed Teaching,

Strategies and Solutions to Help with Behaviour and Support for Children Aged 3-11

Sarah Naish, Anne Oakley, Hannah O’Brien, Sair Penna and Daniel Thrower

“This is a remarkable achievement.” Stephen Fry

“If you want a book to assist with your work with traumatised children, chose this one. It is the best!” Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, Chief Executive, Anna Freud National Centre for Children & Families

What does trauma-informed teaching really look like in the classroom, and can we really achieve it?

Maybe you, like many other teachers, will reach the end of a busy day feeling exhausted, deskilled and less than keen to dive into a book on the theory of trauma. Luckily you won’t find any complex theory or jargon in this book, but you will gain an understanding of how small humans develop, how perplexing behaviours can be explained and learn inclusive strategies that will help all children in your classroom and school.

This A-Z lists issues and behaviours for you to flip to in your busiest moments, ranging from Aggression and Lateness right through to Learning Challenges and Zzz (sleep issues).

Don’t worry, the Mindful Magician is here to help! In this book you’ll learn fun tricks that will ZAP those feelings away.

So, I’m Autistic

An Introduction to Autism for Young Adults and Late Teens

Sarah

O’Brien

“There isn’t a secret manual outlining exactly how to get through your teens and young adulthood as an autistic individual, but this book provides a script for how to do what adulthood will make you do anyway, in a way that is most accessible for you”.

You’ve just received an autism diagnosis, so why do you still feel so lost when it comes to what autism actually means for you?

Written by autistic advocate Sarah O’Brien, this book gives a much-needed introduction into what autism is and removes the myths, stereotypes and stigma that surround it. Sarah provides insights into what to do after diagnosis and how to approach and navigate the process of informing those in your life, from your family and friends to your teachers or manager at work. Utilising her own experience of feeling lost after diagnosis and navigating all of the ‘firsts’ of adolescence and young adulthood Sarah provides an honest and friendly voice to guide you through it all.

Intelligent and clearly-written, this is the fact-led and information-rich resource that will answer your questions about autism, introduce you to your new community and set you up to thrive as an autistic adult.

‘An invaluable guide for the newly diagnosed or the curious. Using a strengths-led, evidence-informed approach, Sarah provides a clear roadmap for navigating autistic life.’ Dr Pooky Knightsmith, Child and

Adolescent Mental Health Expert

The Autistic Guide to Adventure

Active Pursuits from Archery to Wild Swimming for Tweens and Teens

Allie Mason

Illustrated by Ella Willis

It’s time for a new generation of autistic adventurers!

Outdoor adventuring can be life changing - it makes you physically and mentally stronger, takes you to new places and introduces you to new friends, as well as being an exhilarating challenge - but it can be stressful when there are unexpected social and sensory challenges involved. Allie Mason, autistic adventurer extraordinaire, is here to help.

Join Allie as she introduces activities ranging from archery to stargazing, sailing to fossil hunting, snorkeling to nature-writing - and so much more. Each easily digestible factsheet comes with a short introduction, a summary of the sensory experiences involved, suggestions on approaching activities for when you’re just getting started, as well as a handy budgeting system.

With personal anecdotes and interviews with awesome autistic athletes, this book will give you the support you need to take on the great outdoors.

‘Want to give an Autistic child, or a young adult, the gift of enchantment in a world that is inaccessible? This is the book they need - I just wish that this had been around when I was a child.’ Lydia Wilkins, journalist and author of The Autism Friendly Cookbook

______________ the

just dinosaur bones out there, however. Fossil finds also include the human skeletons of our ancient ancestors and the tusks of Ice Age woolly mammoths, plus shells and plants and suchlike.

Why Try It?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share your favourite hobby with a Roman emperor? If you take up fossil hunting, you’ll soon find out! The emperor Augustus loved to keep his fossil collection on full display for his guests to admire when they visited. At that time, the Romans thought that fossils were relics of mythical creatures, untamed beasts and sea monsters. To some extent, they were right. Nowadays, if you were to find a fossil that you believed

had important scientific value, it would be your responsibility to report it to your local museum. That way the discovery can be appropriately studied and identified, as well as shared with the public, for anyone to visit.

Sensory Expectations

Due to the fact that one of the most common locations to find fossils is on the coast, you can expect very similar sensory inputs to other active pursuits in this book such as beachcombing. You’ll definitely be getting up close and personal with lots of sedimentary rocks, so be prepared for textural encounters with grainy and gritty surfaces. Looking for patterns like the honeycomb structure of dinosaur bones or the spiral shells of ammonites can be great visual stimulation, and the soothing sound of ocean waves can have a calming aural effect.

Getting Started!

So now that you’ve decided to take up fossil hunting, you’re going to need to choose a beach to start your search at. It would be sensible to time your visit for when the tide is falling, and also try to go in the seasons of winter or spring. But Allie, I hear you cry, won’t the coast be colder during those seasons? Whilst that is a very good point, as it might well be, it’s in winter or spring when the likelihood of finding a fossil is at its highest. The wind, rain and rough seas will have had the chance to scour the surface of the rocks that you’ll be searching, potentially revealing hidden bones beneath. You’ll definitely want to wear sturdy footwear with a grippy sole, because clambering over rocks can be dangerous. If you’d feel more confident as part of a small group, locations that are well-known for discovering fossils (such as the Jurassic Coast in England) have tour operators who can take you to the most likely spots for unearthing your own ancient find.

The Autistic Teen’s Avoidant Eating Workbook

Elizabeth Shea

Illustrated by Tim Stringer

What should I be aware of when trying new foods? Am I ready to change my eating patterns? How can I eat with other people?

Food can come with all sorts of challenges - sensory issues, social pressure, loss of control - and so making choices about what foods to eat, and coping with mealtimes can be stressful - especially when other people are involved.

If you are neurodivergent and looking to change your relationship with food, this interactive, accessible guide is the perfect companion. You might stick to the same ‘safe’ foods all the time, be attached to specific mealtime rituals, or struggle to know whether you are hungry or full. This guide will help you recognise the signs of avoidant eating, cope with food related anxieties and manage sensory overload, as well as the particular social stresses of communal eating.

With top tips, a progress tracker, quizzes and worksheets, this is an engaging and informative resource for teens and parents alike.

I like it when the grown-ups notice when I am doing something well, like being kind and helpful. I love it when I find little notes under my pillow. This works better than punishing me. Punishments just make me cross.

Grown-ups can help me by noticing the little things I am doing well and praise me.

When I am enjoying an activity or looking at something that really interests me, I get animated and excited. I love exploring – when I go outdoors I feel really happy. I love digging and making things with wood.

ADHD is my superpower because I am adventurous.

Hello, my name is Bobby and I have ADHD.

I make lots of people laugh as I have a good sense of humour. I notice the way people talk and behave, and I can mimic them. I have a real eye for detail and notice things that other people miss.

It makes me really happy when people are smiling at me rather than being cross with me. There are lots of famous comedians, actors and entertainers with ADHD like Rory Bremner, Ant McPartlin, Jim Carrey and Will Smith.

It’s a bit complicated but let me try to explain what ADHD is. Inside my skull is my phenomenal brain which acts like a superpowered computer.

My brain sends messages to different parts of my body to do things like feel emotions, talk, stop, move, write, eat, listen, sleep. It’s incredible that our brains control our bodies and our emotions, isn’t it?

I am great at thinking quickly and in an emergency I am the best at making a quick plan.

FACT: Both boys and girls can have ADHD.

Sometimes the messages get through and everything is okay.

But sometimes the messages don’t get through and I may get things wrong. My body is not receiving the messages from my brain. I get into trouble. Grown-ups tell me that I should try harder. But honestly, I am trying as hard as I can.

Grown-ups can help by learning about my ADHD brain and then realizing that I am not being deliberately naughty.

My brain is very busy and is full of thoughts and ideas. Sometimes in life things go wrong. Some people may panic, but my busy brain can come up with some solutions. I’m good to have around when there is a drama! My busy brain is on high alert most of the time.

ADHD is my superpower because when things go wrong, I can keep calm and solve the problem.

The opposite of goody is baddy.

FUN FACT This same Michael Jordan, now one of the world’s most famous basketball players, later said, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over again, and that is why I succeed.”

But baddies aren’t food. They are characters and people who do mean scary things.

Some baddies are real—actual people doing actual hurtful things.

Other baddies are pretend—characters in books, games, movies, and stories friends tell, even though the baddy never took an actual breath and isn’t real at all.

My Grief Handbook Why Grief Hurts and How to Cope

David Trickey, Beck Ferrari and Olivia Clark-Tate

Grief can be complicated and painful. Our memories, relationships, good times and worries are unique, and these all affect how we experience a loss. No two people will experience grief in the same way because all of our relationships are specific to us.

But there are frameworks for understanding our reactions when someone dies. Lots of people have found it helpful to understand these frameworks, as knowing what’s going on with grief can help us find ways to cope with the loss, let go of some of the pain, and find ways to still have a good future.

Based on years of research, this book includes some first-hand experiences from people who have been through grief, to show how the ideas could work in real life. However, this is not another person’s story. It is a guide to understanding your own.

By getting to know how we are processing grief, we can start getting on with it - working alongside it and moving forward.

The Asexual Pride flag was created in 2010 by the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. Someone who is asexual may have little to no sexual attraction toward other people. The black stripe represents asexuality, the gray stripe illustrates the gray area between sexual and asexual, the white stripe is for allosexuals and allies, and the purple stripe symbolizes community.

In 2018, Daniel Quasar updated the Rainbow Pride flag to make it more inclusive.

The Progress Pride flag includes the white, pink, and blue stripes from the Transgender Pride flag and brown and black stripes to represent queer people of color.
