Abstract

Although a relation between child abuse and developmental disabilities has been established, information about the health and developmental status of children referred to child protective services is not adequately obtained. Case records of 150 children identified to child protective services were reviewed in order to determine the availability of health and developmental information. A screening protocol was developed for the purpose of reviewing case records that has potential for use by child protective services workers.
