New child welfare policy brief on older youth with disabilities in foster care

Policy-Brief-Disabilities-EducationThe Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare has issued a new child welfare policy brief, part two in the series on disability and child welfare. This policy brief focuses on the educational experiences of older youth with disabilities in Minnesota’s foster care system.
In particular, the brief highlights three different policy issues and presents possible solutions to each, based on dissertation research from Katharine Hill, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Social Work and Consulting Researcher with the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare.
