Because of this research, Congress, in 2003, enacted legislation to establish formal links between Part C early intervention programs and the state child welfare agencies through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. This session will provide participants the latest research on the effects of: child abuse, neglect and maternal substance abuse on the development of infants and toddlers; current CPS policy for referring CAPTA families to WV Birth to Three; and effective practices for working with children/families engaged with the Child Welfare System.
