  • Title: The relationship between child disability and living arrangement in child welfare.
    Author: Romney SC, Litrownik AJ, Newton RR, Lau A.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2006; 85(6):965-84. PubMed ID: 17305044.
    Abstract:
    The influence of disabilities on placement outcomes was examined for 277 children who were removed from their biological parents due to substantiated maltreatment. Results indicated that children with a disability were less likely to reunify and more likely to reside in nonkin foster care two years later than typical children. Children with cognitive, emotional /behavioral, and physical disabilities were over four times more likely to be permanently living in nonkin foster care than to be reunified.
