The Casey Life Skills (CLS) is a multiple-choice questionnaire that measures independent living skills in a number of functional areas for young people. The CLS standard form has 126 questions that assesses 9 functional areas, (1) daily living, (2) self-care, (3) relationships and communication, (4) housing, money management, and transportation, (5) work and study life, (6) career and education planning, (7) civic engagement, (8) navigating the child welfare system, and (9) looking forward. This assessment is for youth ages 14-21 years. It can be completed by youth and supportive adults (e.g., caregivers, service providers, case workers, etc.) to understand the youth’s skills.
