There is one major problem that we all have with the system. The official appraisal is far too advanced for many of our students, and doesn't seem to provide adequate/appropriate screening for entry and further testing. I am desperately searching for a better option. We would like to be able to quickly determine which of the life skills test levels we should administer to the students upon entry into our program. Is there anyone out there who has found a successful assessment that helps screen for the CASAS. Lori Edelman Literacy Partners Inc.
