Is the family vision clear, concise, in the family’s words, reflects hope/purpose for the future, and inclusive of the whole family (or the youth if age 17 or older)? Does the vision reflect the Permanency Plan? The family vision is not inclusive of any of the family members (or youth if age 17 or older), does not provide a sense of purpose/hope for the future, is not clear or concise, and is not in the families language The family vision is partially inclusive of all family members (or the youth if age 17 or older) and reflects some sense of hope/purpose for the future, is somewhat clear and concise and appears to be in the families language The family vision is fully inclusive of all family members (or the youth if age 17 or older), expresses hope/purpose for the future, is clear and concise, and is in the family’s language Does the POC reflect underlying needs? Does the level of care being utilized or requested match the Need(s)? None of the Need Statements appear to be reflective of underlying needs Need statements reflect services, strategies, or goals rather than the root cause of the behavior, what is missing that the behavior makes up for, or what the behavior is communicating. Example: Johnny needs a tutor. Some of the Need Statements appear to be reflective of underlying needs Some need statements reflect services, strategies, or goals and some reflect the root cause of the behavior, what is missing that the behavior makes up for, or what the behavior is communicating. Example: Johnny needs help to focus in the classroom. All of the Need Statements reflect underlying needs All need statements reflect the root cause of the behavior, what is missing that the behavior makes up for, or what the behavior is communicating. Example: Johnny needs to feel safe in the classroom so he can focus.
Are the benchmarks measureable, observable and attainable? Do the benchmarks reflect movement toward a less restrictive setting for both the youth and the family? None of the benchmarks are measureable, observable or attainable Example: James will interact with his family. Some or all of the benchmarks, meet some or all of the criteria (measureable, observable and attainable) Example: James will eat dinner with his family. All of the benchmarks are measureable, observable and attainable Benchmarks should be written from a positive frame of reference. To be “Measureable” speaks to being able to numerically quantify an outcome. To be “Observable” means to be visible, evident, or noticeable. To be “Attainable” means to be realistic, developmentally appropriate, and achievable. Example: James will eat dinner with his family four times per week. Do strategies reflect progression towards the benchmarks and include who will do what, where, when, how and why? None of the strategies reflect progression towards the benchmarks nor do they include who will do what, where, when, how and why Some, but not all, of the strategies reflect who will do what, where, when, how and why and evidence progression towards the benchmarks, and/or reflect some, but not all, of the criteria and/or evidence some progression towards the benchmarks All of the strategies reflect who will do what, where, when, how and why and reflect progression towards the benchmarks Example: Beth (tutor) will meet James at the North Avenue Library on M and W from 3:00p.m. to 4:30p.m. to tutor him in math homework in an effort to increase his math grade from a D to a C to allow him to be eligible to play football.
Does the crisis plan speak to safety and crisis management specific to home, school and/or community, and the current out of home setting (if applicable)? The crisis plan does not speak to any crisis and safety management plans for any settings The crisis plan speaks to a crisis and safety management plan for some applicable settings The crisis plan speaks to a crisis and safety management plan for all applicable settings in both reactive and preventative sections of the crisis plan Does the crisis plan identify a comprehensive (specific and detailed) approach in dealing with the crisis? The crisis plan does not identify a comprehensive approach for resolving a crisis. The crisis plan identifies somewhat of a comprehensive approach in resolving the crisis. The crisis plan identifies a comprehensive approach in resolving a crisis. A “comprehensive” approach should be safety oriented and should take into account the youth’s developmental age, the dynamics/structure of every setting, i.e. – home, RCC, etc., triggers, available supports, who will do wha, where, when, and how.
