child development "primer" for court services officers

["Sandra Bishop \(by way of Andres <NDACAN@xxxxxxxxxxx>\)" <Sandra.Bishop@xxxxxxxx>]

A juvenile court in my state (CT) is looking for a "primer" on child
development, to be included in their training manual for court services
officers.  They are particularly looking for information on how family
problems: (poverty, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc.) impact child
development.  
I'm sure that some other states must have information on child development
in their CPS training manuals and wanted to post a query asking for any
models I could suggest that our court look at.  
Thank you.
