Despite a call for action to address the needs of infants and toddlers in the child welfare system, they continue to be overrepresented in allegations of abuse and neglect, substantiated cases of maltreatment, and entry into foster care. Given the ongoing unique needs for infants and toddlers involved with child protective services, the rising proportion of this age group with substantiated reports, and the importance of this developmental period, practitioners involved with maltreatment prevention and promotion of child and family well-being are in an important position to provide the necessary support for infants, toddlers, and families in need. Therefore, the goals of this presentation are first, to provide the necessary background information to understand the developmental impact of maltreatment on infants and toddlers; and second, to provide information on available resources and practice recommendations that practitioners can use to support infants, toddlers, and their families.

Each year, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of research articles published in a variety of journals in disciplines which address important issues in child abuse and neglect. These range from basic sciences, neuroscience, and psychology, to epidemiology, public health, medicine, law, law enforcement, and other areas that report new and potentially important information for professionals responding to child abuse and neglect. This presenters for this session will search the world’s published literature for 2024 to review articles with information that can be used to improve practice and policy, while highlighting articles from APSAC’s journal Child Maltreatment and publications which participants can use in their work and that reflect the best science across disciplines. These are foundational articles which provide information that can be transformative in the field and can assist the participants throughout their professional careers. The presenters will make the articles “accessible” to the participants and will discuss important aspects of their study design, study sample and generalizability of results.
