For Indigenous communities globally, colonization and historical trauma are commonly associated with ACEs, and these effects reverberate through generations. More research is needed to establish the relationship between the wide range of early life stressors, including changes in brain and hormone functioning and child development (McLaughlin, et al., 2014; Moffitt, 2013). The precise relationship between timing and nature of adversity, HPA axis dysregulation and impaired brain development is unclear, and can only be determined by ongoing longitudinal research (McCrory, et al., 2011). Although the description of complex trauma resonates with many practitioners, the lack of rigorous evidence in support of complex trauma as a construct, as well as paucity of evidence in favour of interventions for complex trauma, has meant that it has not yet been accepted as a formal diagnostic category by mental health professionals (DSM-V: APA). Proven structural changes include enlargement of the amygdala, the alarm center of the brain, and shrinkage of the hippocampus, a brain area critical to remembering . This practice paper provides an overview of what we know from research about cognitive development in children who have experienced trauma,1 and provides principles to support effective practice responses to those children's trauma. It will also suggest some principles that might be applied to facilitate children's cognitive development in practice. The site is secure. De Jong, M. (2010). Improving foster children's school performance: a replication of the Helsingborg study. Sara was recently awarded the inaugural ACU Linacre Fellowship at Oxford University in recognition of her work supporting children in care. herringa@wisc.edu. Positive role modelling is also an important means by which children can learn socially acceptable ways to experience emotions. Data from our cross-sectional studies [35,57] show that, in contrast to typically developing youth, youth with PTSD show increased amygdala activation with age, combined with decreased prefrontal recruitment and coupling with age. Epub 2020 Jun 10. Teicher, M. H., Tomoda, A., & Andersen, S. L. (2006). So understanding how to build connections with teens requires understanding how age and past experiences can alter a brain over a lifetimeand how those brain changes affect behavior. Cicchetti, D., Rogosch, F. A., Gunnar, M. R., Toth, S. L. (2010). These changes in brain structures are responsible for cognitive and physical functioning. These experiences can include neglect, antenatal substance exposure, disrupted relationships, unfamiliar and threatening environments and people, and complex mental health needs (DeJong, 2010; Zilberstein & Popper, 2014). 8*l=1R/;wSGxP^PXN9^c4(jGSgp~p{[s It will also detail the limitations to current knowledge about the impacts of trauma on cognitive development, while emphasising the significant impact of antenatal alcohol exposure on later cognitive development. Immediate effects of a school readiness intervention for children in foster care. The Australian Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health (ACPMH) and Parenting Resource Centre (PRC) have reviewed practice and evidence base for intervention for traumatised children. In the meantime, all children in care should be offered interventions based on the best current evidence, and that target trauma symptoms and cognitive skills. The presence of PTSD appears to affect cognitive functioning. These changes may be addressed, at least in part, by regular and intensive intervention that regulates the more "primitive" regions of the brain, through repetitive and rhythmic activities in the context of continuous therapeutic relationships (e.g., Perry, 2009; Perry, & Dobson, 2013). Executive function performance and trauma exposure in a community sample of children. Their responses to their experience depends on a variety of factors including: the nature, frequency, and . Relationships between maternal emotion regulation, parenting, and children's executive functioning in families exposed to intimate partner violence. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal This field of research is not well developed and is conceptually and methodologically underdeveloped. Any placement of a traumatised child should ensure the child's safety and connect him or her to positive influences and relationships in the home, school, and broader community. There is some evidence that executive functioning difficulties can develop as a result of early adversity. Psychological treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

(2007). This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Trauma and brain development was such an eye opener for me as a parent. 5 Positive parenting is "the continual relationship of a parent(s) and a child or children that includes caring, teaching, leading, communicating, and providing for the needs of a child consistently and unconditionally." McLean, S. (2016). De Bellis, M. D., Keshavan, M. S., Shifflett, H., Iyengar, S., Beers, S., Hall, J. et al. Children in care are likely to have experienced a complex mix of neglect, trauma and adversity. The research findings suggest that the stress response system can either become chronically over-activated or under-responsive over time (Frodl & O'Keane, 2013; McCrory et al., 2011; McEwan, 2012; McLaughlin et al., 2014) in response to a complex mix of factors (including chronicity and timing of abuse) that are currently unclear. Appropriate social boundaries can be reinforced using visual teaching aids such as circle diagrams that can be used to distinguish family from non-family, and friends from strangers. There is an urgent need to develop tailored interventions for the difficulties faced by these children. In general, the evidence base linking abuse and cognitive impairment is not as strong as it is for other factors, including the impairment arising from foetal alcohol syndrome (McLean & McDougall, 2014). Cognitive development will be supported by stable caregiving. These principles are based on conclusions drawn from current theory and empirical research. The window of opportunity for addressing underdeveloped cognitive skills may be greater than previously thought. Empirical evidence suggests that childhood trauma is associated with physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that can persist into adulthood. Arguably, a dimensional model of childhood adversity could lead to new insights in this area. Interventions, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, that support children and adolescents to tolerate strong emotions are helpful, and can lead to improvements in self-control over time (Bohus et al., 2009; Steil, Dyer, Priebe, Kleindienst, & Bohus, 2011; Matulis et al., 2013). Visual cues and reminders of the steps between impulse and action can also be helpful. Researchers have yet to develop agreed ways to define and measure complex trauma so that an evidence base for intervention can be established. whether it matters that the trauma is familial or not; and. Pollak, S. D., Nelson, C. A., Schlaak, M. F., Roeber, B. J., Wewerka, S. S., Wiik, K. L., Frenn,K. Child neglect: developmental issues and outcomes. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological framework that describes human behavior and personal development created . Caregivers may need assistance in adapting the way that they give instructions and make requests to children. Bookshelf Perry, B. D. (2006). For example, adults with a history of abuse have been shown to have smaller hippocampal volume - an area of the brain associated with memory consolidation (Hart & Rubia, 2012; McLaughlin et al., 2014; Teicher et al., 2012). Decreased prefrontal cortical volume associated with increased bedtime cortisol in traumatized youth. Multi-type maltreatment and polyvictimisation: A comparison of two research frameworks. (2013). In trauma therapy, children are encouraged to learn to recognise and tolerate the strong emotions associated with trauma, and this helps minimise avoidance and other symptoms over time. Domestic violence is associated with environmental suppression of IQ in young children. Studies show that children with PTSD subsequent to abuse have lower verbal IQ on assessment, suggesting that the presence of PTSD rather than abuse per se may be more relevant (Saigh, et al., 2006; Hart, & Rubia, 2012). Rasmussen, C., Treit, S., & Pei, J. Verbal memory can be strengthened by instructing children and caregivers in the use of written reminders, cue sheets, diaries and electronic reminders (e.g., phone alarms). Shors, T. J. Relaxation training and mindfulness strategies can also be helpful to calm heightened arousal and in learning to tolerate strong feelings associated with past events. For a discussion of the importance of trauma-informed context, see Trauma-informed care in child/family welfare services. Specific sleep hygiene strategies may also be needed due to heightened arousal interfering with sleep-wake cycles (e.g., support with learning bedtime routines and night time wakening). 2023 Australian Institute of Family Studies. I am sure I can recall so many traumatic experiences in my life even during childhood. These studies don't generally control for other factors that can affect IQ scores, such as education level and presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, which means these findings can't necessarily be generalised to all children in care. A 3-year retrospective study of 866 children and adolescent outpatients followed in the Nice Pediatric Psychotrauma Center created after the 2016 mass terror attack. 2021 Jan 15;89(2):144-151. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2020.06.001. Multiple parts of the brain are affected when a child experiences a traumatic event. Caregivers can support children in re-appraising social situations by teaching and modelling the appropriate reactions to social situations, conveying trust in other adults, and modelling appropriate social interaction skills. One traumatic experience was when my home was burnt down to ashes and I became sick for such a long time, even lead to hospitalization. depersonalization or . In contrast, neuropsychological studies generally provide solid evidence for a link between trauma and brain function. %PDF-1.3 Gindt M, Fernandez A, Zeghari R, Mnard ML, Nachon O, Richez A, Auby P, Battista M, Askenazy F. Front Psychiatry. Neuropsychological research suggests that children who have experienced neglect and physical abuse can experience problems in auditory attention and cognitive flexibility (problem-solving and planning) (Nolin & Ethier, 2007). Children placed with people whose behaviour is frightening or dangerous may not experience the necessary psychological safety, and their capacity for new learning will be diminished. Interventions that target complex trauma are necessary, but may not be sufficient to meet the developmental needs of children in care. Just as each child will have different emotional responses to a traumatic event, the way that the brain responds to trauma will also vary across children. K., Susman, E. J., & Putnam, F. W.

It relies on categorical, cross sectional and retrospective designs: this makes it difficult to disentangle the relative contribution of trauma and adversity, prenatal influences, genetics and mental health issues, and normal developmental changes in brain development (Pineau, Marchand, & Guay, 2014). Practices that are recommended for providing a trauma informed educational program (National Child Traumatic Stress (2002). While children in care are likely to have been exposed to trauma, they are also likely to have been exposed to a range of other factors that may impact their cognitive development. Practice and policy documents focus on trauma-informed interventions to improve cognitive functioning; however there has been very little critical research that links trauma and cognitive development, or the interventions that are effective in helping affected children. The child's school can provide an environment in which intensive and continuous interventions can be delivered. Maintain targeted interventions throughout childhood and adolescence.

Cognitive and neuroimaging findings in physically abused preschoolers. Longitudinal research is still needed to clarify the exact windows during which targeted interventions may be most effective, but there is every reason to believe that improvement in discrete cognitive skills such as memory and attention is possible for most children throughout adolescence. Gabbay, V., Oatis, M. D,, Silva, R. R., & Hirsch, G. (2004). Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood. trauma and brain development pyramid. Pediatric PTSD is characterized by both overt and developmental abnormalities in frontolimbic circuitry. Although safe and consistent caregiving will create the necessary conditions for recovery, it may not be sufficient to meet the needs of many children. Children with these difficulties may appear as though they are not complying with instructions, or that they are being wilfully disobedient. This suggests that a history of exposure to violence and PTSD may both be important influences on cognitive development. (2010). Despite this, the research has typically used abuse subtypes as selection criteria. 756 0 obj

Developmental trauma disorder: pros and cons of including a formal criteria in the psychiatric diagnostic systems. The neurosequential model of therapeutics. As a whole, the research suggests that children in care are likely to experience one or more cognitive difficulties. Bohus, M., Kleindienst, N., Limberger, M. F., Stieglitz, R. D., Domsalla, M., Chapman, A. L., Steil, R., Philipsen, A., & Wolf, M. (2009). For over two decades, extensive research has demonstrated significant associations between adverse childhood events (ACEs) and a wide range of negative health, mental health, and social outcomes. Brain structures in pediatric maltreatment-related posttraumatic stress disorder: A sociodemographically matched study. In other words, the evidence suggests that there are multiple factors affecting general intelligence development - in the context of abuse - besides trauma, and these factors include neglect and poverty. This practitioner resource outlines what empirical research tells us about cognitive development in context of the adversities encountered by children placed in out-of-home care, and what it might mean for supporting them. Tarren-Sweeney, M. (2010). Carers and children need an explanation for the difficulties they may be encountering. PTSD in youth is common and debilitating. For children and youth who experience child abuse or neglect and associated trauma, brain development may be interrupted, leading to functional impairments. Executive functioning and children who have been fostered and adopted. Ongoing maltreatment can alter a child's brain development and affect mental . Young children are particularly vulnerable to the impact of traumatic experiences. CPx.n&vC]T;k-3fg wgM1QySwpXh&_TL/ Unfortunately, published studies cited as demonstrating the impact of complex trauma tend to have included children who meet criteria for discrete post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rather than those children raised in the context of maladaptive care (e.g., De Bellis et al., 2009; Gabowitz, Zucker, & Cook, 2008; Teicher et al., 1997; Teicher et al., 2004). Traumatic experiences in pregnancy and in the first 4 years of a child's life can affect brain development and have a significant impact on later emotional, mental and physical wellbeing and the effects can persist into adult life. Children in care can experience a range of difficulties related to the ability to identify, recognise, experience, tolerate and appropriately express emotions. Epub 2014 Sep 12.

Notably, abnormal frontolimbic development may contribute to increasing threat reactivity and weaker emotion regulation as youth age. The guiding principles outlined below are aimed at supporting the cognitive development - and responding to the diverse experiences - of children in care. A., Loman, M. M., & Gunnar, M. R. (2010). Ongoing maltreatment can alter a child's brain development and affect mental . Children will benefit from use of simple language, repetition of key concepts, visual strategies (cartoon social stories) and visual prompts to support the uptake of ideas from therapy or discussions with caregivers. Cohen, J. This is significant, as synchronous, nurturing caregiving has also been shown to improve children's cognitive functioning (Lewis-Morrarty, Dozier, Bernard, Terracciano, & Moore, 2012; McLean & Beytell, 2016). Special attention may be needed to maximise the positive aspects of family contact or to protect the child from ongoing exposure to trauma via family contact. Rehearsal and repetition techniques can improve children's difficulties with attention and short-term memory (Loomes, et al., 2008; Manji, Pei, Loomes, & Rasmussen, 2009). 4 0 obj Hedges, D. W., & Woon, F. L. (2011). Taken as a whole, the literature suggests that children in care are likely to experience: (See Cook et al., 2005; De Lisi & Vaughn, 2011; Lansdown, Burnell, & Allen, 2007; Mc Crory et al., 2010; McLean & McDougall, 2014; Noll et al., 2006; Ogilvie, Stewart, Chan, & Shum, 2011; Perry & Dobson, 2013.). Stressful experience and learning across the lifespan. Early-life stress and cognitive outcome. These skills underpin a child's learning, social and emotional development. While there is consensus that early stress leads to an ongoing dysregulation of the body's HPA axis stress response system (see McEwan, 2012), the exact nature of this dysregulation is debated (Frodle, & O'Keane, 2013; McCrory, De Brito, & Viding, 2010; Sapolsky et al, 1996).

Trauma and adversity is commonly described as leading to a hyper-arousal of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) that results in changes in brain development. Studies of children in care and related populations - including children with neurodevelopmental issues or acquired head injury (Melby-Lervag & Hulme, 2013), children affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD; McLean & McDougall, 2014), and children with PTSD - all suggest that cognitive skills can be improved with specific and targeted interventions, delivered in the context of a safe and nurturing relationship.

The CogMed program and the Amsterdam Memory and Attention Training for Children program (Rasmussen et al., 2010) have shown promising results, although they have not yet been evaluated with children in care settings. One study has found that experiencing PTSD in the context of familial trauma may have more significant impact on executive functioning than non-familial trauma (DePrince Weinzierl, & Combs, 2009). The resources listed below provide information about evidence-informed interventions targeting trauma: 1 The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) concept of trauma provides a comprehensive definition: Individual trauma results from an event, series of events or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual's functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional or spiritual well-being.
