In the CASSP framework, a 'Child and Family Team' (CFT) is convened primarily to:
Answer: Collaboratively develop, implement, and monitor the intervention plan
The Child and Family Team brings together the family, natural supports, and service providers to jointly create and oversee the intervention plan, ensuring shared ownership and coordination.
Which of the following is an example of a 'SMART' goal appropriate for a CASSP intervention plan?
Answer: Child will reduce office referrals from 5 per week to 1 per week within 90 days
A SMART goal is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound; reducing office referrals from 5 to 1 per week within 90 days meets all five criteria.
When selecting interventions for a CASSP-based plan, what should be the first consideration?
Answer: Evidence of the intervention's effectiveness for the specific population and presenting problem
Evidence-based practice requires selecting interventions with demonstrated effectiveness for the child's specific population and presenting concerns to maximize the likelihood of positive outcomes.
A family declines a recommended intervention because it conflicts with their religious beliefs. The most appropriate CASSP-aligned response is to:
Answer: Explore alternative interventions that respect the family's beliefs and still address the need
Respecting family values is a CASSP core principle; the team should identify alternative approaches that address the clinical need while honoring the family's cultural and religious context.
Transition planning within a CASSP intervention plan addresses which of the following?
Answer: Planning for the youth's movement toward independence and reduced service intensity over time
Transition planning ensures that as youth mature or stabilize, there is a deliberate, supported process for stepping down services and building independence and adult-system connections.
Which element of an intervention plan specifically documents who is responsible for each action and by when?
Answer: Action steps or task assignments
Action steps or task assignments break goals into concrete activities, identify the responsible party for each step, and specify target completion dates to ensure accountability.
In CASSP, 'unconditional care' means that services should:
Answer: Continue to be provided regardless of the child's behavior or placement changes
Unconditional care means the system commits to serving the child regardless of challenging behaviors or placement disruptions, rather than discharging youth who are difficult to serve.
