 tervention Project is the only randomized control trial of foster care int
 ervention for infants and young children abandoned at birth. These young c
 hildren were assessed while living in institutions and then randomized to 
 either remain in the institutions where they were living or be placed into
  foster families. Assessments were conducted at different intervals over t
 he course of childhood\, adolescence and most recently early adulthood. Ea
 rly intervention appears to have remediated some (but not all) of the defi
 cits attributed to early deprivation. Sensitive periods in development acc
 ount for these effects as do stability of placement over time. This talk w
 ill present data from multiple domains including cognitive\, psychiatric\,
  and brain structure/functioning. \n\nThis presentation is relevant to cli
