Addressing Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders
summary
Research on trauma and stressor‑related disorders links adverse childhood experiences to later anxiety and PTSD with almost two‑thirds of participants reporting at least one ACE and over one in five reporting three or more. Accessibility gaps exist; proposed mitigations map to WCAG 2.1 items — captions, audio control, pause/stop/hide, timing adjustable, keyboard and target size. Work is early, uses literature (CDC/Kaiser ACE study) and informal self‑testing for ethics reasons, and raises a W3C issue for trigger warnings.
