This study tracks a cohort of approximately 1,700 children
between ages 3 months and 5 years 11 months who enter the
child welfare system to: 1) identify developmental delay in
children with open child welfare cases who are removed from
tbeir home of origin and compare rates of developmental delay
in children with open cases placed in dependent care with
rates of those children returned to their home following review,
2) further evaluate children with questionable and/or abnormal
Denver tests using a standardized battery of speech /language
and psychological tests and characterize specific types of
delays seen, and 3) identify what types of intervention services
children receive and determine which factors predict entry
into public sector sponsored services for children with developmental
delay.
DSEP has also developed a website at www.howkidsdevelop.com
as a service to families with young children.
