The New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) is required to perform a conflict-free comprehensive needs assessment for people receiving OPWDD services. The Coordinated Assessment System (CAS), according to OPWDD, “is the comprehensive assessment that OPWDD uses for people 18 years or older to identify their strengths, needs and interests. The CAS provides information used in person-centered planning for the person’s care. Understanding of what kinds of support each person needs is the foundation of an equitable service system that focuses on providing the right amount and type of support, in the right way, to each person.”
This webinar from NYC Fair features Albert Pruett, director, Bureau of Assessment Oversight and Coordination at OPWDD. It will cover what you need to know about a CAS and how to prepare for one. Plus, you can ask your questions.
