AB  - Children  who  live  in  poor  families  face  pervasive  challenges  to  their  health  and  development.  These  challenges  result  in  increased  rates  of  illness,  developmental  delay,  behavioral  problems,  school  failure,  and  social  dysfunction.  Poverty,  adverse  exposures,  and  unmet  basic  needs  amplify  the  impact  of  biological  vulnerabilities  on  the  child.  However,  as  with  other  threats  to  health  and  development,  poverty’s  effects  can  be  offset  by  individual,  family,  community,  and  professional  buffering  factors  that  offer  both  protection  and  support.
