This study examined how educators in autism-specific schools in Australia learned about and implemented trauma-informed education. After a short training, staff showed better understanding and more positive attitudes toward supporting trauma-impacted Autistic students, though teacher well-being stayed the same. Teachers valued the training but noted some challenges, especially with limited resources and supporting students with intellectual disabilities.
