  • Title: Starting young: improving the health and developmental outcomes of infants and toddlers in the child welfare system.
    Author: Silver J, DiLorenzo P, Zukoski M, Ross PE, Amster BJ, Schlegel D.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 1999; 78(1):148-65. PubMed ID: 9919642.
    Abstract:
    The number of infants and toddlers entering out-of-home care has increased dramatically in the past few years, yet few published reports examine their needs. This article describes a collaborative, multidisciplinary developmental follow-up program for infants and toddlers that builds on the community-based family support model described in the Family to Family Foster Care Reform Initiative. The children's health and developmental status, as well as the program's effectiveness, are highlighted.
