Who
would be the population assessed? |
| |
This
assessment is designed for children who may be involved with dependency
programs, have been deemed juvenile delinquent, experience behavioral and
emotional problems or may be at-risk. Valuable information can be provided
for youth of any age with recommendations offered of areas that may need
to be evaluated more fully. |
|
|
What
is the rationale for the C-CAP? |
| |
Traditionally,
assessments for children have been conducted by a variety of individuals
with diverse levels of training and expertise. Past assessments have most
often utilized standard psychological batteries and limited screening and
psychosocial information that must be analyzed and interpreted by the recipient
with little guidance for treatment and care planning.
The Comprehensive Child Assessment Program (C-CAP) has been designed by
senior clinicians that have extensive backgrounds and experience in child
and adolescent psychological assessments and in assessing and treating family
systems. The C-CAP is a new and innovative comprehensive assessment which
is based on current assessment research and evidence-based protocols, that
measures a child's level of functioning across a broad range of functional
domains.
The comprehensive approach of the C-CAP rests in its ability to assess all
critical areas of a child's individual functioning in the context of the
child's familial, socio-cultural, and educational environment. |
|
|
Why
use the C-CAP? |
| |
Use
of the C-CAP increases internal consistency in comprehensive assessments,
which yields greater reliability in results.
The C-CAP provides suggestions for needs of services, a unified plan of
care and treatment goals, and concrete suggestions for facilitating those
goals. Furthermore, the C-CAP predicts potential outcomes and future problem
areas that may be prevented. With a single plan of care and clear service
directives, based on needs and level of risk, better outcomes are expected.
Portable and easily administered, assessments can be conducted in field
settings. |

|
|
Can
I bill Medicaid? |
| |
C-CAP
was designed to be Medicaid compliant and is billable as a comprehensive
assessment service in most states. |
|
|
What
kind of training is involved? |
| |
Three
days of intensive training is suggested for most agency clinical staff.
One-half day of technical support is included during the three days. |
|
|
Is
tech support offered? |
| |
One-half
day of technical support training is offered during the initial training
period. Most contracts include five hours of technical support thereafter.
Any additional tech support needs are billed on an hourly basis. |
|
|
What
is included in the report writing? |
| |
Reports
are generated in most word processor formats (Windows 95 and up compatible).
Reports provide an immediate picture of the child and family's level of
functioning. Reports are editable and easy to work with. The writing style
is easy to understand and does not use on psychological jargon. Each report
addresses the specific areas evaluated and can be further customized to
each child/youth evaluated. |
|
|
What
supervisory tools are included? |
| |
Once
an evaluation is begun, a supervisor may determine quickly where in the
process the evaluator is, as each module has an opening date and once completed
is "locked" with a reflected date. |
|
|
Who
should purchase the c-cap? |
| |
The
C-CAP is currently designed to be licensed to an agency or institution involved
in child health and welfare, including foster-care placement, family preservation
or juvenile justice. Evaluators should have a master's degree and be licensed
in psychology, social work or marriage and family areas. It is not currently
designed for individual practitioners. |
