There is a gap in research concerning effective training of school-based occupational therapy practitioners on application of the trauma-informed approach. The aim of this quantitative study was to examine the effectiveness of training on the trauma-informed approach among school-based occupational therapy practitioners. Participants (N = 26) attended two virtual, synchronous trainings on the trauma-informed approach. Outcome measures included surveys and the Creating Trauma-Informed Care Environments: An Organizational Self-Assessment. Quantitative results showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge (z = -4.246, p < .001), confidence (z = -4.498, p < .001), application (z = -3.098, p = .002), and overall effectiveness score (z = 4.466, p < .001) and were supported by qualitative statements. Participants requested more training to enhance application and maintain post-training confidence.
