Developmental Difficulties Related to Child Abuse

When reaching out to funders and other stakeholders, it is helpful to have research to back up the anecdotal information we have from working with children at our centers.  The National Institute of Justice Child Abuse and Maltreatment site provides summaries of current research related to child abuse and other forms of violence.  You can find information about developmental difficulties related to child abuse by following this link:
