  1. Which CASSP principle requires that services be sensitive to the unique cultural and linguistic needs of each child and family?

    Answer: Culturally competent

    Cultural competence requires that services respect and incorporate each family's cultural values, language, and traditions.

  2. A youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) is transitioning out of residential care. System coordination at this stage should prioritize:

    Answer: Establishing community-based supports before discharge

    Transition planning must ensure community supports are in place before discharge to prevent re-hospitalization or system re-entry.

  3. In CASSP, 'unconditional care' means that:

    Answer: Services are not withdrawn when a child's behavior deteriorates

    Unconditional care commits the system to maintaining services even when a child's behavior worsens, rather than discharging the child for non-compliance.

  4. Which role is responsible for helping families navigate multiple agencies and ensuring service plan implementation in a system of care?

    Answer: Care coordinator or case manager

    The care coordinator or case manager serves as the primary navigator, ensuring families access services and that providers communicate effectively.

  5. The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool is used in system coordination primarily to:

    Answer: Guide service planning by documenting needs and strengths across life domains

    CANS provides a standardized framework for identifying a child's needs and strengths to inform individualized care plans.

  6. A system of care's Management Information System (MIS) is most critical for:

    Answer: Tracking service utilization and outcomes across agencies

    An MIS enables cross-agency tracking of who is being served, what services are used, and whether outcomes improve over time.

  7. Which of the following best describes 'blended funding' in a system of care?

    Answer: Combining dollars from multiple sources into a flexible pool to serve children holistically

    Blended funding pools resources from Medicaid, education, child welfare, and other sources to allow flexible, individualized service delivery.
