NEW! Level-1 Trauma-Informed Assessment Specialist Certification
TLC, in collaboration with the Child Trauma Assessment Center (CTAC) at Western Michigan University, is proud to introduce this new Level-1 Certification. With over 2,000 completed trauma-informed assessments, CTAC, a member of the National Child Trauma Stress Network, has a great deal of experience to offer. Trauma’s impact on language, social communication, sensory processing, cognitive and behavioral functioning dictate that intervention strategies and treatment plans be driven and guided by trauma-informed assessment. If we do not understand how children are actually processing their daily interactions, which observation alone does not reveal, how can we apply the most developmentally appropriate interventions? We cannot. Participants will walk away with defined competencies in the use of several assessment tools (see course descriptions below). This is all new content and different from TLC’s current Assessment Driven Intervention online course. You do not need to be working toward your TLC Certification to attend these courses.
Required Courses for Level-1 Trauma-Informed Assessment Specialist Certification:
Level-1 School Specialist Certification
You can choose to work toward your Level-1 School Specialist Certification at this training. We are offering After the School Crisis training again this year due to popular demand. Not only does this course address critical recovery protocol but it provides the tools needed to minimize the impact traumatic incidents can have on students and staff. You do not need to be working toward your TLC Certification to attend these courses.
Required Courses for Level-1 School Specialist Certification:
BOTH Level-1 Clinical Specialist Certification
AND Trauma-Informed Assessment Specialist Certification

Children of Trauma Online Course
Prerequisite for all certification Levels (6-hrs online)
We recommend completion prior to attending Structured Sensory Interventions
Presenter: William Steele
Click here to see an excerpt of Children of Trauma. This online course is a recorded live presentation that “sets the foundation” for the use of the intervention strategies participants will practice in San Antonio. Learn how to become a “witness” to how grieving or traumatized children now experience life, how they now see themselves, others and the world around them as a result of all they have been exposed to. This helps us, as practitioners, appreciate the intensity of their experiences, their neurological impairment and their intervention needs in school, at home or in clinical settings. Segments demonstrating the intervention process will prepare participants for the February 24th full-day of practice. Although it is not mandatory to complete this online course before attending the Structured Sensory Interventions course, we do highly recommend it. Even if you are not applying for Certification the evidence-based strategies practiced will simply make more sense and the experience more valuable within the context of the foundation presented in the Children of Trauma online course.

Structured Sensory Interventions
Friday February 24, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
All Levels (1-day) - We highly recommend that you take the Children of Trauma online course before attending this course.
Presenter: William Steele
This is a practice day. Participants will be engaged in the evidence-based, grief and trauma psycho-educational intervention processes used in schools and community settings across the country. Cases - including the mother of a 7-year-old who died of cancer at home; a 12-year-old exposed to repeated domestic violence; a 15-year-old, raped multiple times at a drug house; and a spouse whose husband was tortured and killed - will be presented along with the remarkable evidence-based reduction of their PTSD and other mental health and cognitive related reactions. Participants in schools or agency settings will feel comfortable using any of TLC’s structured manualized psycho-educational trauma intervention programs and tools at the end of this practice-directed training. For your convenience, we will send you a link to the handout one week before the training. Please print and bring it with you, as we will not provide hard copies. CEs available: 6

School Level-1 (2-days)

In this two-day session participants will be introduced to the Traumatic Event Crisis Intervention Plan (TECIP) that provides the tools necessary to initiate protocols that offer crisis team members a proven structure to stabilize all involved in recovering from the crisis, mobilize resources, accelerate normalization of routine, and minimize the adverse impact on students and staff by restoring adaptive functioning. The Rapid Assessment Guide Traumatic Event Briefing Process, TECIP, 4x5 Development Flow Chart, the what, when, where, who and how to initiate and navigate through the Roadmap to Recovery will be presented. Lecture, demonstrations, small and large group discussion, and practice make this a “must attend” for school crisis response members. The TECIP Abbreviated Implementation Guide will be given to every attendee. For your convenience, we will send you a link to the handout one week before the training. Please print and bring it with you, as we will not provide hard copies. CEs available: 12
