SCHOOL READINESS INFORMATION

have the appropriate environments and experiences to support their development.

The skill sets are listed on pages 4 and 5 of the report.
RELATED RESEARCH
This recent Applied Research Forum paper, from the National Online Resource Center on Violence Against Women, reviews new
research, policies and programs related to children exposed to domestic violence. The author contends that the diversity
of children’s experiences requires equally diverse community responses.

RELATED RESOURCES
The Domestic Violence Unit of the San Diego Sheriff’s Office has posted information on their website on the effects of
domestic violence on children. There is a link to Abusive Behaviors that details Signs for Victims and
Signs for Aggressors. We applaud the San Diego Sheriff’s Office for their effort in this area.

This report, from the Library of Congress Congressional Research Service, takes the reader from 1999 when the Safe Start
initiative was authorized by legislation to the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of
2005. Also included is up-to-date appropriation data for several federally funded programs that address the issue of
children exposed to violence.

This program, located in New Haven, Connecticut, is sponsored by a grant from the U.S. Departments of Justice and Health
and Human Services. Their website provides valuable information on the signs and symptoms of children exposed to violence,
catastrophic events in a child’s life, and different types of violence, including domestic violence and school violence.
It also provides links to the most recent research available on this subject.
