Children living in poverty face issues that can negatively impact their education, such as trauma. Trauma has been shown to hinder children's learning and development. The education system can help by implementing trauma-informed practices, screening for trauma, and connecting students to mental health services. Special education laws like IDEA require schools to provide individualized support and accommodations to students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Inclusion aims for these students to learn alongside non-disabled peers, while universal design makes education accessible to all students regardless of ability.
