State-by-State Data on Children with Handicaps in Foster Care.

Hill, Bradley K.; And Others

Child Welfare, v69 n5 p447-62 Sep-Oct 1990

A 1986 national survey of state agencies showed that level of foster care for handicapped children was lower than that shown by a 1981 national study of county agencies. Outlines limitations of collection of data from states and of comparison of two surveys. Discusses noteworthy increases in foster care that have occurred in some states since 1985. (DG)
