Product Description:

Despite the overwhelming evidence indicating children in foster care have mental health and developmental needs, many do not receive appropriate services. This study will review an extremely large population of children in foster care who have received comprehensive evaluations to assess for possible areas of difficulty and identify areas of need. Knowledge of the developmental and social-emotional profiles of these children will support the importance of comprehensive screenings and assessments for children in foster care, as well as assist in decision-making regarding the possible services required by this at-risk population. Working on this project will lead to exposure to diverse populations. The team will learn about the importance of cultural competence, particularly when working with underserved populations. This project will include clinical research, literature search and data analysis.
