Our research was developed to assess the ways in which early childhood CPS involvement and homelessness were associated with later academic performance. Study one evaluated whether early childhood developmental readiness skills partially accounts for the relationship between early CPS involvement and 3rd grade achievement. Study two examined whether executive function skills assessed at screening served as a protective factor against the risks of early childhood homelessness for 3rd grade academic achievement.
