The Power of Talking to Your Baby

The Power of Talking to Your Baby


By TINA ROSENBERG
New York Times

By the time a poor child is 1 year old, she has most likely already fallen behind middle-class children in her ability to talk, understand and learn. The gap between poor children and wealthier ones widens each year, and by high school it has become a chasm. American attempts to close this gap in schools have largely failed, and a consensus is starting to build that these attempts must start long before school — before preschool, perhaps even before birth.

Sexual Abuse of Children with Disabilities

The Vera Institute of Justice has just released “Sexual Abuse of Children With Disabilities: A National Snapshot,” which found that children with disabilities are three times more likely than children without them to be victims of sexual abuse, and the likelihood is even higher for children with intellectual or mental health disabilities.  This is an important study and can be downloaded at   http://www.vera.org/pubs/sexual-abuse-of-children-with-disabilities-national-snapshot.
