Title
Assuring the Well-Being School-Aged Children in Foster Care (PN #08)
Abstract
A growing body of research is demonstrating that a large portion of children in foster care suffers significant emotional and behavioral disturbances. Further, a high percentage of maltreated children experience difficulties associated with school-based problems. Given the clear indication that school-aged children may enter foster care with significant risks to their normative functioning in both psycho-social and educational experiences, how competently is the child welfare system responding to these risks?
