This workshop, the first in a four-part series from the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) Religion and Spirituality Interest Network and RespectAbility, provided a view of trauma from the perspective of the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. It explored the sources of trauma and the common effects of that trauma on both a biological and psychological level. The key ingredients for healing were explored and case studies were shared.
