This presentation begins with a review of the impact of stress and trauma on academic achievement and cognitive processes, followed by a review of the neuropsychology and common symptoms of student stress and trauma. A new standardized rating scale for ages 5-18, the Comprehensive Assessment of Student Stress (CASS), is introduced, along with data illustrating how stress and trauma vary by demographic variables, such as ethnicity. The CASS is a digital tool that measures four areas of stress response: affective, behavioral, cognitive, and physical, as well as functional impairment and DSM stress and trauma symptoms. The presentation concludes with an overview of recommended interventions.

The SEL Toolbox provides practitioners intervention tools to help students generalize learned self-regulation and executive functioning skills. Students often have difficulty generalizing new, learned strategies outside of small, structured, group settings. This presentation offers a variety of creative, adaptable interventions that not only reinforce new self-regulation strategies, but also requires students to apply their skills in unpredictable, unstructured situations. When students practice self-regulation strategies in a safe environment that gradually becomes more challenging, they are more likely able to apply those strategies in a classroom setting.
