Recent research has pointed to the increased risk of pathology for children placed in foster care. In response, the Child Welfare League of America has advocated for routine assessment of the psychological needs of children in foster care. A model for standardized psychological screening for all foster children shortly after placement is described. Interdisciplinary relationships between medical and psychological staff are stressed. Typical referral questions are outlined and suggestions for a testing battery that covers cognitive, behavioral, and emotional realms are given. Issues and problems inherent in testing this population are discussed, but the importance of psychological screening of this at-risk population is emphasized.
