LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe key concepts of attachment and developmental trauma as they relate to occupational participation and co-regulation.
  • Identify how attachment disruptions and early relational adversity influence sensory, emotional, and behavioral patterns in children.
  • Explain the neurobiological processes underlying stress responses, neuroception, and autonomic state shifts in children with trauma histories.
  • Differentiate between various survival responses (fight, flight, freeze, collapse) and relate these responses to occupational engagement and regulation needs.
