Description

This poster describes an online training that was developed for caseworkers working with children with developmental disabilities in the foster care system. The purpose of the training is to provide caseworkers with increased knowledge and understanding about developmental disabilities and ways to more appropriately meet the needs of children with developmental disabilities across child welfare settings, such as during visits and with foster home placements.
