Learning disabilities are among the most prevalent developmental challenges. This study examined the relationship between cumulative ACEs and learning disabilities using nationally representative survey data. Findings indicate that children with higher ACE scores are at greater risk for severe learning disabilities, highlighting the importance of early screening and trauma-informed interventions.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Understand the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and learning disabilities
discuss the significance of early screening and trauma-informed interventions within educational and healthcare systems to address the effects of childhood adversity on learning disabilities
discribe the sociodemographic factors influencing learning disabilities
