Confirm Which Client and CAFAS® Are Selected

The Assessment Header at the top of the present page displays information in the red-framed yellow box about the Client and Assessment currently selected:  the Client's name (1, above), Primary ID (2), date of birth (3) and the Assessment date and Administration (4).

The present Create Treatment Plan page is listed as "Treatment Plan" in the tan-colored box below the Assessment Header, among the User's "Assessment Options".  For help navigating these options, continue reading here.

Plan Treatment by Subscale

On this page, the CAFAS subscale information is listed in tabs by subscale:

To expand or retract the tab, click on the "+" or "-" sign in the white box at the far left end of the tab's yellow header (1, above).

The highest CAFAS item endorsed within the subscale is listed first under Target Behavior (2), followed by Strengths and Goals (3).

Plan content is entered in the text box at the bottom, under Plan (4).

You can plan treatment within the subscale by adding or removing strengths and goals, and entering or editing plan details.

To add a strength or goal to a given subscale:

  1. Click on the "Add Strengths and Goals" link:

The Add Strengths and Goals form will appear as a shadowbox over the present page.

  2. Click the OK button when finished (circled, above), or Cancel or Close to cancel action.

Unlike the Add Strengths and Goals form on the CAFAS Item Endorsements page, the Add Strengths and Goals form on this page has an OK button, not a Save button.

  • If you click on the "View Treatment Plan Report" link without first saving changes, you will not be able to proceed to the Report without first saving your changes.
