The 2017 NCA Accreditation Standards highlight the importance of delivering standardized assessments and using the results in making treatment recommendations for children. The increased number of evidence-based treatments (EBT) available lead to a need for greater skill in determining the fit among children and caregivers with a given EBT. Next, child and family factors contribute to treatment engagement in ways that providers must recognize in order to effectively complete treatment with children. This presentation will describe how two CACs implemented standardized assessments, discuss steps for determining an appropriate treatment, engagement rates, and how to use assessments to monitor treatment.
