"The Child Trauma Academy offers a series of cost-effective introduction to viewing maltreated and traumatized children through the lens of neurodevelopment. Each week, for 10 weeks, participants sit in on a 1.5 hour clinical consultation/interdisciplinary staffing conducted by Dr. Perry and the ChildTrauma Academy Fellows. During each session, the clinical challenges posed by a client (as presented by a subscribing clinician) are reviewed and discussed in context of a developmental/neurodevelopmental perspective. The case-based series' teaching model, which requires participants to join a conference call as well as log in to an Internet site providing visual supplementation, has been very useful in helping clinicians and front-line staff better understand the neurodevelopmental principles involved in many of the primary symptoms displayed by the children they serve.
