Quick Reference: Print-Friendly Best Practices and User Flowcharts for Kansas Serious Emotional Disturbance Waiver

Purpose: This Quick Reference Guide was developed to provide clinicians with easy-to-access recommendations and decision guides for common challenges in CAFAS/PECFAS assessment. The first section of the guide summarizes common challenges in overall CAFAS administration, and the second section reviews common challenges within each domain. Both sections include recommended assessment practices for addressing each challenge. The Guide concludes with quick reference decision flow charts for two CAFAS domains, which clinicians often find most challenging or confusing to complete, the Self-harmful Behavior domain and the Thinking domain.
