INSTRUCTIONS

In order to accurately complete the IL assessment, please involve the youth, the Children's Administration social

worker, the foster parent or relative caregiver, and any other persons knowledgeable about the skills of the youth.

Scoring should be based on the lowest level of completion.

The level of attainment for each youth completing this assessment is the lowest level where they satisfactorily

complete the required number of questions. Youth may be highly competent in some areas, but have limited basic

knowledge in others. Having basic knowledge in each area is important for long term success, and plan

development should be focused on filling gaps in youth knowledge.

Completing Category O

It is important for all youth to have a basic knowledge of options for pregnancy prevention. It is not the goal for all

youth to reach “Exceptional” in this category, unless the youth (either male or female) is or will shortly be in a

parenting role. Abuse and neglect issues are not specifically assessed, but competence at the "Intermediate" level

should help youth avoid CPS complaints.

Time frames for completion

All youth should be assessed at age 15 to 16. Once you have completed the IL assessment on a youth you do not

need to repeat the assessment. All further reporting will be based on the goals of the youth, and their skill level will

be indicated by the progress achieved in attaining goals. If the youth remains on the same goal, the skill level

doesn’t change.
