RE: Question from a colleague

["Karen Appleyard" <appleyar@xxxxxxxx>]

Christina,

Your colleague might explore the resources from Zero to Three
(www.zerotothree.org) regarding developmentally appropriate services for
infants and toddlers. There are a number of documents and policy
recommendations regarding court teams and working with infants and toddlers
in child welfare available (under the child abuse and neglect keyword) at: 

http://www.zerotothree.org/site/PageServer?pagename=key_childabuse

Hope this is helpful. 

Sincerely,
Karen Appleyard

Subject: Question from a colleague

Hello - We received the following question from a colleague and, at his
request, are forwarding it to the List Serve for additional information and
feedback. 

We are curently dealing with a terrible death in Milwaukee.  One of the
questions that has arisen is whether any states employ practice guidelines
that include developmentally-appropriate interventions for families with
children under age three, such as, more frequent in-home visiting and other
timelines that are either shorter and/or more frequent due to age of child,
differential assessment based on known developmental trajectories, etc. 

Would you happen to know of systems that have such standards, or do you know
where the best place to look would be? 

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. 
Best regards, 
Chris Bruhn
