 ct is the only randomized control trial of foster care intervention for inf
 ants and young children abandoned at birth. These young children were asses
 sed while living in institutions and then randomized to either remain in th
 e institutions where they were living or be placed into foster families. As
 sessments were conducted at different intervals over the course of childhoo
 d\, adolescence and most recently early adulthood. Early intervention appea
 rs to have remediated some (but not all) of the deficits attributed to earl
 y deprivation. Sensitive periods in development account for these effects a
 s do stability of placement over time. This talk will present data from mul
 tiple domains including cognitive\, psychiatric\, and brain structure/funct
 ioning. \n\nThis presentation is relevant to clinicians and clinicians in t
