Abstract

This capstone, conducted at the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, determined the efficacy of assessments and interventions for children and families affected by trauma. Comprehensive resource guides were developed regarding occupational therapy's role and trauma-responsive methods to support the interdisciplinary trauma teams and improve the quality of life for the families they serve.
