I am in the process of compiling an informational packet for Emilia's new teachers and therapists, sharing some of her background and the effects it has had on her overall development, behavior, and personality. I came across this fantastic resource that I am going to include in the packet for the Kindergarten team:

I printed this information out and highlighted parts applicable to Emilia as well as wrote notes in the margins. This is a pretty comprehensive, yet concise presentation that covers everything from changes in the brain structure of institutionalized children, to RAD and other attachment issues, to the effects of nutritional deficiencies, depression, PTSD, etc. I hope it will help her educators understand her better and provide more appropriate services.
*Just found another one which is kind of like Emilia in a nutshell:
