Facilitating Visitation for Infants with Prenatal Substance Exposure
Burry, Caroline Long; Wright, Lois
Child Welfare, v85 n6 p899-918 Nov-Dec 2006
Permanency planning for infants with prenatal substance exposure is challenging due to characteristics of the infants and the ongoing substance use or relapse of the parents. Visitation is a primary mechanism through which child welfare workers determine and support permanency planning. Productive use of visitation for permanency planning for infants with prenatal substance exposure is described, along with strategies for skillfully focusing visits on issues and needs relevant to this population.
