CAASP Core Principles 2

Question 1

Which CASSP principle specifically requires that services be planned with the child and family as active participants rather than passive recipients?

Accepted Answer

Child-centered

Answer

The child-centered principle places the child's needs, strengths, and preferences at the forefront, with the child and family actively involved in planning.

Question 2

A system of care emphasizes 'least restrictive environment.' What does this mean in practice?

Accepted Answer

Services are provided in the most natural, home-like setting appropriate to the child's needs

Answer

Least restrictive environment means using the most natural setting that safely meets the child's needs, not eliminating higher levels of care when genuinely necessary.

Question 3

Under CASSP principles, 'individualized care' means that services should be:

Individualized care requires that service plans be customized to the specific child rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Question 4

Which of the following best illustrates the 'strengths-based' approach within CASSP core principles?

Accepted Answer

Identifying the child's and family's existing capacities to build upon in treatment

Answer

A strengths-based approach identifies existing assets in the child and family system as building blocks for recovery and growth.

Question 5

How does the CASSP principle of 'accountability' apply to service providers in a system of care?

Accepted Answer

Providers must demonstrate measurable outcomes and responsiveness to family feedback

Accountability in CASSP requires providers to track outcomes, respond to family concerns, and demonstrate that services are producing meaningful results.
