The focus of the ChildTrauma Academy has been maltreated or traumatized children.
Despite this, much of our work examining the impact of negative experience on the
developing child can be helpful in understanding how all children develop. In this
section, some of our work on early childhood and brain development is highlighted.
These materials are special Academy Web versions of content presented elsewhere.
