Dr. Alan Reifman's Family Policy Course

Today, we'll begin covering various issues under the heading of "Children and the Law." These include parental responsibility/authority, child maltreatment, adoption/foster care, and early cognitive/behavioral enrichment programs (e.g., Head Start). On Monday, Dr. Lawrence (Lonnie) Berger of UW-Madison's School of Social Work will come in to give a guest presentation on child maltreatment, so we'll largely leave that topic until Monday.
