The brand new Child and Adolescent Level of Care/Service Intensity Utilization System (CALOCUS-CASII) is a unification of the CALOCUS and CASII assessment tools for children and adolescents. CALOCUS-CASII provides determination of the appropriate intensity of services needed by a child or adolescent and their family, and guides provision of ongoing service planning and treatment outcome monitoring in all clinical and community-based settings.
