CAASP Intervention Planning 2

Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

Individualized services

Answer

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.

Question 2

When developing an intervention plan under CASSP principles, who should be identified as the primary decision-maker regarding the child's care?

Accepted Answer

The family, including the child when appropriate

Answer

CASSP emphasizes family-driven care, meaning parents and the child (as developmentally appropriate) are the primary decision-makers in the planning process.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes a 'wraparound' approach in CASSP intervention planning?

Accepted Answer

Coordinating flexible, individualized services across multiple life domains

Answer

Wraparound is a team-based planning process that coordinates flexible services across life domains such as home, school, and community to meet individualized needs.

Question 4

In an intervention plan, 'measurable outcomes' serve what primary function?

Accepted Answer

Allow the team to evaluate whether the plan is achieving its goals

Answer

Measurable outcomes allow the care team to objectively assess progress and determine whether interventions are effective, enabling data-driven plan modifications.

Question 5

A CASSP-aligned intervention plan is described as 'strengths-based.' This means the plan primarily focuses on:

Accepted Answer

Identifying and building on the child's and family's existing capacities

Answer

Strengths-based planning identifies existing capabilities, assets, and supports to build resilience rather than focusing solely on problems and deficits.
