New Study on Special Ed & Child Welfare-Involved Youth

Kevin Gee 4/24/2012:08 PM

Dear ACEs Connection Community,

Wanted to share some of my new work out in Children and Youth Services Review on the factors predicting whether Child Welfare Services-involved youth receive special education.

I find that foster youth have a higher probability of receiving special ed vs. children in the care of an adoptive/biological parent. Given current school closures, supporting foster families educating kids with special needs will be critical.

You can access the article for free (until June)

HI Kevin- I shared it with the UCDavis, CA ACEs Action and ACEs in Foster Care sites on ACEs Connection.Great that you posted these important findings. Absolutely agree that foster families need support at this time, actually always need support. I would love for all foster families to be educated about ACEs and connected to buffering resources and support for themselves and their children.

Thanks so much Gail! Appreciate you sharing the work. Thanks also for your thoughtful words on supporting foster families and helping increase their awareness of ACEs.
