Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused myriad issues for early elementary students and their families. Those early in their educational careers, particularly pre-K–2 students, are especially vulnerable developmentally to abrupt disruptions. School counselors, in turn, are being called upon to respond to crises and provide trauma-informed care for these students and their families, often virtually. This article explores COVID-19-related educational disruption of early elementary students, their families, and school counselors through the use of a case example.
