  1. Which CAASP principle holds that services should be provided in the least restrictive, most normative environment appropriate to the child's needs?

    Answer: Least restrictive environment

    The least restrictive environment principle ensures children receive care in settings as close to normal community life as possible.

  2. Home-based crisis stabilization services in a CAASP system of care are designed primarily to:

    Answer: Prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospitalization

    Home-based crisis stabilization aims to de-escalate acute crises in the home and keep the child from needing inpatient admission.

  3. A 'wraparound' team meeting in community-based care typically includes which participant group?

    Answer: Parents and natural supports alongside professionals

    Wraparound meetings center families and their natural supports alongside formal providers to build a comprehensive care plan.

  4. In a CAASP-aligned system, 'flexible funds' are best used to:

    Answer: Purchase individualized non-traditional supports not covered by insurance

    Flexible funds fill gaps by purchasing creative, individualized supports such as sports equipment or tutoring that standard funding streams do not cover.

  5. Which outcome measure is most commonly used to track functional improvement in children receiving community-based behavioral health services?

    Answer: Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS)

    The CAFAS is widely used in children's systems of care to measure functioning across home, school, and community domains.

  6. Therapeutic foster care differs from traditional foster care primarily because it:

    Answer: Provides specially trained foster parents who deliver therapeutic interventions

    Therapeutic foster care trains foster parents to implement structured therapeutic techniques, making the family setting itself a treatment environment.

  7. The CAASP system of care value of 'community-based' means services should be:

    Answer: Provided close to where children and families live, work, and go to school

    Community-based service delivery reduces barriers by situating care within the child's natural geographic and social environment.
