Or, better said, what does it feel like? Why is trauma-informed design particularly important for today\u2019s digital experiences?  We hear answers to these questions and more this week from Melissa Eggleston and Carol F Scott, PhD - the women behind Trauma-informedTech.com. Melissa is an expert in user-experience design and research with a focus on inclusive, trauma-informed technology and design. Carol is a social worker and social welfare expert whose training intersects law, social work, psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and health informatics.  Melissa and Carol discuss what trauma is - and how broad our understanding of trauma has needed to become. We hear why it\u2019s important - particularly today, and particularly with children in mind - to design digital experiences that are trauma-informed. Most importantly, we learn about how to approach and the steps to take in order to design a trauma-informed digital experience.
