In CASSP-based intervention planning, which principle requires that services be designed around the child's needs rather than fitting the child into existing programs?
Answer: Individualized services
Individualized services means the plan is tailored to the unique strengths and needs of each child rather than using a one-size-fits-all program approach.
When developing an intervention plan under CASSP principles, who should be identified as the primary decision-maker regarding the child's care?
Answer: The family, including the child when appropriate
CASSP emphasizes family-driven care, meaning parents and the child (as developmentally appropriate) are the primary decision-makers in the planning process.
Which of the following best describes a 'wraparound' approach in CASSP intervention planning?
Answer: Coordinating flexible, individualized services across multiple life domains
Wraparound is a team-based planning process that coordinates flexible services across life domains such as home, school, and community to meet individualized needs.
In an intervention plan, 'measurable outcomes' serve what primary function?
Answer: Allow the team to evaluate whether the plan is achieving its goals
Measurable outcomes allow the care team to objectively assess progress and determine whether interventions are effective, enabling data-driven plan modifications.
A CASSP-aligned intervention plan is described as 'strengths-based.' This means the plan primarily focuses on:
Answer: Identifying and building on the child's and family's existing capacities
Strengths-based planning identifies existing capabilities, assets, and supports to build resilience rather than focusing solely on problems and deficits.
Which CASSP principle is violated when a child is placed in a residential treatment facility without first attempting community-based interventions?
Answer: Least restrictive environment
The least restrictive environment principle requires that less intensive, community-based options be exhausted before escalating to more restrictive settings like residential care.
During an intervention planning meeting, a parent disagrees with the clinician's recommended service. According to CASSP principles, the appropriate response is to:
Answer: Explore the parent's concern and collaboratively revise the plan
CASSP's family-driven principle requires that parent concerns be genuinely explored and that the team work collaboratively to reach a plan the family can support.
