Casey Foster Family Assessments are a suite of tools for foster parent applicants going through the licensing process and for agency workers. These assessments provide instant, confidential feedback.
Foster parent applicants can self-report on their ability to:
- Support foster child development
- Care for challenging children
- Negotiate worker and agency challenges
- Co-parent
- Integrate foster children with other children in their families
- Provide kinship care
Agency workers can:
- Assess each parent in these same areas
- View side-by-side responses for two-parent households
- Compare the scores to a national normative sample
Additional tools measure resource family applicants’
- Available time
- Receptivity to birth family connections
- Cultural competence
- plus 15 other areas
