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 Review CAFAS Results for Assessment Report page is listed as "Review Assessment & Print Report" in the tan-colored box below the Assessment Header: one of the User's "Assessment Options".  For help navigating these options, continue reading here.

Review CAFAS®

The listing on the present page shows CAFAS item endorsements as identified by target behavior and impairment level.  They are listed by subscale.


To view the subscales graph

Click on the button at the top of the page:

Score and Clinical Markers

In addition to the CAFAS® Total Score, the Score and Clinical Markers box provides a number of useful summaries based on years of clinical research.  For complete details on these Markers, see Evidence-Based Treatments for Children and Adolescents - A Compilation of Resources and Guide for Matching CAFAS Profiles to Evidence-Based Treatments by Kay Hodges.  The guide is available from FAS - www.fasoutcomes.com:

NOTE: the system will suggest "Improving Child Management Skills" (as it does above) when the Youth is severely (30) or moderately (20) impaired on the Home subscale, with no severe co-morbidity (i.e., no severe impairments on the following scales: Thinking, Self-Harm, Mood, and Community).  If the client does not meet this criteria, nothing will be shown for child management skills.

Why aren't the reports appearing when I click on the report icons?

Because reports open in a separate browser window, your browser's pop-up blocker may be blocking them.  You will need to disable the blocker or allow pop-ups for the present screen in order to view the reports.
