If you are wondering what an ACE score can tell you about childhood experiences, this workbook gives you room to answer at your own pace and read the count with care. The 10-item questionnaire covers categories reported before age 18; each Yes adds one point, while a skipped item adds none. The score is a count, not a diagnosis, prediction, or measure of severity, and the guide explains what it leaves out, including strengths and support.
The 33-page pack comes as separate PDF files in both A4 and US Letter. Start-Here offers a safety note and suggested six-week path; Measures contains the questionnaire, scoring steps, and a worked example. Thirteen worksheets help you reflect on what the count includes and omits, identify supports, make a pause plan, consider sharing, and choose a small step. Four trackers can be reprinted. Quick-Reference includes a one-page summary and wallet and fridge cards, while the three-page Guide explains the measure and its limits. A two-page Clinician Guide and one-page Credits and References file complete the set.
Use the suggested path over six weeks or move at a pace that feels manageable: answer and score when ready, pause or skip questions, then return to reflection, supports, and planning. Revisit the repeatable trackers if useful, and fill in the summary if you choose to bring notes to a doctor, therapist, or another person. You finish with your own written reflections, a small-step plan, and a record you can keep or share selectively.
What you get
- Answer the 10-item questionnaire in Measures with Yes, No, or Prefer not to answer, then count Yes responses from zero to ten.
- Read the three-page Guide for context on descriptive bands, skipped items, and what a category count cannot tell you.
- Use the My pause plan and support worksheets to note what steadies you and identify people or places that help.
- Return to the four repeatable Trackers for a revisit log, weekly reflection, small steps, and a monthly overview.
- Fill out the Quick-Reference summary and wallet or fridge card to keep selected notes and support details close.
What it is not
For educational self-reflection only, not a diagnosis or treatment. The ACE questionnaire is in the public domain from the CDC-Kaiser Permanente study conducted by Vincent J. Felitti, Robert F. Anda, and colleagues; the pack credits these authors and the study, and its personal-use license allows professionals to print pages for their own clients.
