Clinicare Assessment & Evaluation

A cornerstone of Clinicare's success has been its thorough, comprehensive evaluation. Many children and adolescents who are referred to out-of-home placements do not have up to date diagnostic or comprehensive evaluations. Clinicare facilities synthesize the child's or adolescent's historical data as part of the overall treatment plan. Prior to admission, the previous information is amassed and evaluated. Upon admission, the child/adolescent begins a short-term course of assessments that include the following:

Assessment:
• Psychiatric Assessment
• Nursing Assessment
• Social Assessment
• Psychoeducational Assessment
• Group Living Assessment
• Family Assessment
• A.O.D.A. Assessment

A list of possible testing:
• Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A)
• Youth Triage Screening
• Criminal Justice Screening-Adolescent
• Jesness Inventory
• Million Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI)
• Test of Variable Attention (TOVA)
• Shipley Institute of Living
• Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI)

This clinical assessment and evaluation is the optimal process in the development of a successful treatment plan. Using historic data together with current information and comprehensive assessment, the Clinicare facility, agency, and family can follow an appropriate therapeutic direction.
