Some Thoughts About The Harsh Reality of ACEs

Jim Parry 9/28/1810:15 AM

So here is the harsh reality of ACEs. The child who enters kindergarten with an ACEs score of 3 or 4 will likely have that score double or more by the time they graduate from high school. For far too many students, adverse childhood experiences ARE life experiences. These life experiences affect everything from mental and physical health to relationships and academics. Our students can't simply be "fixed" with a temporary response. Trauma-informed/responsive education isn't a fad. This isn't going away. This is the reality of ACEs. For some, this is life. - Jim Parry, REACH Stewartville Coordinator
