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).

So, I’m Autistic

An Introduction to Autism for Young Adults and Late Teens

Sarah

“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

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

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.

To put it simply, it is the leftover bits of something that died a very, very, VERY long time ago.

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.

My Unique ADHD World

Joanne Steer and Claire Berry

“They just don’t get it!” I bet you have said that before... Maybe if you knew more about ADHD, you could help your friends, family and teachers understand too. Everyone has things they are good at and things they find more difficult. ADHD can give you some special strengths - however, it can also make some things more difficult for you. Let’s explore what ADHD means for you with fun facts and by hearing all about other ADHD children’s experiences too!

You can even write (or doodle) what you already know and what you have learnt about so that you can teach your friends, family and teachers all about you and YOUR UNIQUE ADHD!

‘Jo Steer and Clare Berry in their book ‘My Unique ADHD World!’ have beautifully illustrated what ADHD means and will help many children understand that their uniqueness should be celebrated and not criticised.’ Soli Lazarus

ADHD Is Our Superpower

The Amazing Talents and Skills of Children with ADHD

Soli Lazarus

Illustrated by Adriana Camargo

10

I always seem to lose things, even my most special toys! This is really annoying and people have to help me find my things.

An illustrated book to help children to understand their ADHD diagnosis in a positive light. Each character in the book focuses on a specific symptom of ADHD such as hyper-focus, sensory overwhelm, poor initiation and inattention. They also introduce readers to the unique strengths their ADHD provides, with links to further resources and support.

‘What a warm, lively and fabulous book. An utter delight to support both children with ADHD, and their families.’ Michelle Beckett, Founder, ADHD Action

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.

CHAPTER 2
That Can Be Tricky Working memory in my classroom Why is it hard to follow instructions in the classroom if you have working memory issues? Because you have to keep many different things in your brain at the same time. You have to remember what the teacher told you and you have to carry out these tasks. It’s like juggling many balls, and sometimes you drop one of those balls and forget what you are supposed to do. TOMMY When I was in kindergarten, I loved school! There were so many fun activities and the teacher was always there to help me if I forgot something. I don’t mind school now but I find it a lot harder to concentrate. Sometimes I close my 24 Things That Can Be Tricky eyes and try to listen really hard to what my teacher, Ms. Higgins, is saying. But other thoughts come in my head, like games I would like to play, what I will talk to my friends about at lunchtime, oh, and my favorite comic books I’m reading. My teacher says that she always has to repeat things for me because I never listen. She even called me a dreamer. But I’m not trying to 25

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.

We modern-day humans need to learn the difference between real dangers and False Alarms. Mistaking one for the other causes all sorts of trouble, and makes us feel needlessly afraid. The most common cause of amygdala False Alarms is Worry. Imagine Worry – Worry with an upper-case W – as something separate from you. A little creature. A monster, or critter, or pest. It acts like a friend – there to protect and keep you safe – but really Worry’s aim is to frighten you. 28 29 Worry is like that annoying classmate. You know the one. The person who plops down next to you, then jumps up and shouts: Spider?! Your amygdala would pull the alarm, sending a jolt of energy through your body. You’d jump up, and immediately start brushing your leg. Ick! But wait. Even though you’re in fight-or-flight mode and your heart is pounding, your brain would begin to register: I didn’t see any spider. A minute or two later, your classmate does it again: You’d probably startle again. Amygdala alarm! Although not quite as intense. You’d stay seated this time, but your heart would still be pounding and you’d still look down. Is there a spider?

My Life After Trauma Handbook

Surviving and Thriving using Psychological Approaches

Bridie Gallagher, Sue Knowles, Reggie Worthington and Jade Baron

Illustrated by Chloe Collett

Adversity is a part of life and many of us have experienced trauma that has left us feeling distressed, scared or alone. This book draws on Bridie and Sue’s background in Clinical Psychology to help you identify what trauma is, the effect it can have on your physical and mental health, and how you can cope.

Containing many ideas and strategies to support you with the impact of trauma, including giving yourself a butterfly hug to calm yourself down or sending an email to someone who lives far away to feel more connected, this is a guide that you can dip in and out of, and return to at different stages in your life after trauma.

Co-written with two young people who were brave enough to share their own stories, you will find that you are not alone, that nothing stays the same, and that there’s always hope.

‘Bridie, Sue, Jade, and Reggie have written a book that moves us from victim to survivor, allowing resilience and growth to follow. I recommend this book to any young person who has experienced trauma and for those supporting them.’ Dr Kim S Golding CBE, Clinical Psychologist and Author

The Grief Rock

A Book to Understand Grief and Love

Natasha

Illustrated by Lily Fossett

When someone you love dies, the grief rock shows up

Sometimes grief can feel like a heavy weight you are carrying around. It can be difficult to explain how you feel or know how you will cope carrying the grief rock around.

This gentle story explores how grief is filled with all the love we have for someone who was important in our lives.

Perfect to open up the conversation on difficult feelings, the book also includes a short guide for adults with tips on supporting children after a bereavement.

‘The end of the book gives a new way to look at grief. As a teacher of young children, I appreciate how this book gives us a way to talk about something that can feel overwhelming and acknowledges that it’s ok to feel these big feelings and that it is all tied to love at its core.’

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.

exclaimed Arthur. “Why aren’t you at Space Camp?”
Mum looked at him and laughed. “You are funny sometimes; I don’t know where you get your ideas from!” Arthur was so happy he forgot to do pigeon steps to the front door.

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.
