OPWDD is pleased to invite people and families to attend one of our upcoming information sessions on OPWDD’s Coordinated Assessment System (CAS) and the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS-NY) assessment. We’ll be launching a statewide roadshow to help make the assessment process easier to understand. We’ve heard feedback that people may have anxiety or concerns about the assessment interviews, and we want to help relieve those feelings.
The purpose of the CAS and CANS-NY assessment is to improve service delivery and care planning for everyone who receives OPWDD services. By involving you and your circle of support in the assessment, we can make service plans that are responsive to the needs of each person.
We hope you will use these information sessions as an opportunity to hear from OPWDD leaders about how the CAS and CANS-NY assessment will inform your services and share your experiences and questions about the assessment process.
Each Information Session will include:
- A brief introduction about the CAS and CANS-NY assessment
- Question & Answer session where you can share your questions about the CAS and CANS-NY assessment process
