When to Conduct the Casey: The Casey must be completed by participants at the following periods: ✓ Orientation (To be completed no later than 1st week of training) ✓ End of training (To be completed no sooner than 3 weeks before end of training) ✓ 1 year after training completion ✓ 2 years after training completion Introducing the Casey: The Support Services Specialist is responsible for introducing the Casey to participants at orientation. It is important to explain what the Casey is and the purpose of it. For example, let trainees know it is a life skills assessment that helps identify their needs and strengths and provides helpful information that will be used to set goals while in the program. Staff should emphasize to participants that their responses will in no way affect their status as a trainee and that honesty is very important so that their Support Service Specialists can assist them with their needs. Conducting the Casey: A Support Services Specialist is responsible for administering the Casey assessment. To do so, they will be provided a login to access and administer the Casey. The Casey takes approximately 30 -40 minutes to complete; however, to provide time for printing or to account for delays, allow at least one hour to conduct the Casey. The Casey can be administered online or by using a paper version. It is highly recommended that the Support Services Specialist arranges for participants to take the Casey assessment online in order to avoid inputting data later. To do so, participants must have an e-mail address. If online computer access is not available, the Support Services Specialist may print out a blank Casey Assessment form and request that the participant complete it by hand using a black or blue pen. Staff must then input the data onto the Casey website in order to obtain the results. Given this situation, another option for Support Services Specialist is to log onto the Casey website using their own login while the participant is present. Instructions follow: 1. Support Services Specialist must log onto to the Casey website using the login provided to you 2. Go to "Youth" on top left corner 3. Search the participant's name and click on their "Youth number" 4. Then click "Start Now" on top right for the youth to complete the Casey. 5.
