NEURO-AFFIRMING and Trauma-Informed PRACTICE

Neuro-affirming practice in psychology and Positive Behaviour Support is about embracing diversity, upholding rights, as well as promoting positive identity and wellbeing. 

Trauma-informed practice recognises that people with a disability are more likely to have experienced trauma, and the need to consider how trauma may have impacted them. It emphasises the need to prioritise physical and psychological safety .
