For the ACEs testing to become a tool to identify children's level of trauma, they have experienced. After identifying the level of trauma, then use special techniques to start the healing process for the child to be able to learn their school work in a safe and nurturing environment. I was a child that was a victim of trauma from being abandoned by my parents at the tender age 1 1/2 years old. I was raised in an orphanage and foster homes. I experienced mental and physical abuse. When I learned about how the ACEs test can help identify your level of trauma in your life, I needed to become involved to helping children to receive healing at an early age so they have the opportunity to break the dysfunctional cycle in their lives and raise their children in a happy and healthy home.
