Abstract

Authors Lipina and Colombo describe the effects of poverty on children's brain development. Through their research, they developed interventions to help alleviate the detrimental effects of poverty. While their book emphasizes neuroscience, it also discusses relevant classroom and home-based interventions that have been effective in increasing children's early learning. It is the intent of the authors to replicate successful interventions and influence policy in early childhood education.
