Problems You Face:
• Increase in babies and children that have tested positive for substances.
• Increased awareness that children and babies have experienced trauma and that it affects development.
• More family stressors affecting bonding and attachment.
• Gaps with tools that are not sensitive to trauma and development.
• Emotional challenges and stressors for evaluators.

TIME: Why it is important to act fast?
• The first three years of a child’s life are uniquely important because this is the most sensitive period for brain development (Zero to Three, 2016).
• It takes less time, intensity and repetition to organize developing neural systems than to reorganize developed neural systems (Perry, 2006).
• Young children are most vulnerable and have the high victimization rate (Finkelhor, 2013).
• If we don’t catch it the first time, we oftentimes wait 6 months to a year to re-evaluate.

Long Term Effects:
• The exposure to violence also increases the probability of future victimization (Finkelor, 2013).
• Prenatal drug exposure predicts behavioral dysregulation at 8/9 years of age (Clarke, 2014).
• In recent NIH research alterations in Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis regulation are a known risk factor for the development of anxiety and affective disorders later in life (Clarke, 2014).

Risk Factors/ Short and Long Term Effects:
Fetal exposure to drugs of abuse often produces long-lasting changes in brain structure and function.

How You Can Fill in Gaps by Using Observation Skills
What to Look For…
• Autonomic Nervous System Responses
• Motor System
• Regulatory State
• Social Interactive System
(Nugent, 2007)
![Page 10: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Autonomic Nervous System:
• Bowel Movements
• Grunting or rapid, shallow breathing
• Startles/ Tremors
• Gagging or Spitting Up
• Substantial Color Change
![Page 11: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Motor System:
• Stiffening and Arching Away
• Disorganized Activity /Uncoordinated Movements
• Flailing Movements
• Limpness/Flaccid
• Body Feels Tense/Rigidity
• Jerky Movements
• Unusual Posturing/Positioning
![Page 12: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Regulatory State and Social Interactive System:
• Inconsolable Crying/Screaming
• Extreme Irritability
• Twitching Eye Movement
• Panicked Alertness
• Constant Averting
• Cannot be aroused
• Hypervigilance
![Page 13: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Importance of Cumulative Risk Factors: Is this Baby Going to Have a Strong or Weak Foundation?
• Low Birth Weight
• Exposure to drugs
• Respiratory distress
• Disruption in placement
• Failure to thrive
• Health concerns
• Lowered Immune System

Important Information to Think About During Your Assessment:
• Stress Responses
• Trauma Triggers
• Derailment
• Can the child access their skills in all environments
• Sleep Patterns
• Pacing During Mealtimes
• Stress Factors for Family
![Page 15: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Important Information to Think About During Your Assessment:
• Does the child have supervised visits?
How often ?
With whom?
• Do you notice anything different after visits?
Sleep patterns
Eating
Regulation
Trauma Triggers
• How long does it take him/her to recover?
![Page 16: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Important Information to Think About During Your Assessment:
• How does the child’s caregiver view the child’s experiences?
• How does the evaluator view the child’s experiences?
• Do we see the same child?
![Page 17: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evaluators Must Integrate Attachment, Relationships, and Development:
• Services sooner than later is important
• Collaboration is essential/working with agencies
• Modeling Relationships
• Reflective Supervision
• Administrative support
• Flexibility- with scheduling, frequency and duration of interventions and services
• Holistic view of child, family, caregivers and self as narrators
• Enhancing parents capacity to meet child’s needs
![Page 18: MAKING CONNECTIONS - University of New Mexicocdd.unm.edu/ecln/FIT/pdfs/fit-annual-meeting-2018/how... · 2020-02-16 · MAKING CONNECTIONS: How Evaluators Can Realize the Impact Trauma](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0eb3367e708231d44081f4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Creating Positive Outcomes for Children and families.
You cannot separate attachment and bonding from development during your assessments.
You must acknowledge trauma and how it affects yourself, families, caregivers, children when performing evaluations.
