The range and complexity of these adverse circumstances are well known to practitioners, and they include trauma, abuse, neglect and antenatal substance exposure. BackgroundĬhildren who are placed in out-of-home care are likely to have experienced a range of early-life adversity. It will also suggest some principles that might be applied to facilitate children's cognitive development in practice.Īlthough the focus of this resource is on children in care, the principles stated here are applicable to other children in contact with statutory child protection services and other similar services, who are likely to have experienced a similar range of adversity. By summarising the empirical evidence linking trauma and cognitive difficulties, it is hoped that this resource will provide some perspective on the current state of evidence, while highlighting the need to further develop the evidence base for interventions. This resource summarises current evidence about the likely impact of trauma and other common adversities on children's cognitive development. (The evidence in support of this link is considerable, when compared to the link between maltreatment and cognitive development.) 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. 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. The potential impact of all these factors must be considered in developing supports for children in care. Early-life adversities for these children may include exposure to alcohol and other substances in utero, and neglect. 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. Trauma is thought to have significant implications for the development of children's cognition, 2 language and self-identity: this paper will provide an overview of the state of the evidence that links trauma with delayed or disrupted cognitive development. 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.Įxposure to trauma is common in children who have been placed in care (Gabbay, Oatis, Silva, & Hirsch, 2004), and there is increasing interest in the unique needs of these children.
