Children who have been involved with the child welfare system, as a result of risk of physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or neglectful environments, have "special needs" which differentiate them from other children. The physical, emotional, social and cognitive impact on a child who has experienced the trauma of abuse and separation from their family can be profound. Delays and difficulties in each of these areas of child development are often evident in abused children. For instance, a child may display attachment problems, behavioral difficulties, or significant learning delays.
