Appendix C: History and Development of the Guidebook
Heightened attention to getting youth in out-of-home care ready for living on their own occurred with the 1999 passage of the Foster
Care Independence Act (P. L. 106-169), and the John H. Chafee Independence Program. This act mandates evaluation of services is
now mandated for all states receiving federal independent living monies (see Foster Care Awareness Project, 2000). To help youth
prepare for living on their own, Casey Family Programs (Casey) developed a set of tools to assess life skills and evaluate life skills
programs.
Readiness to live on one s own is a life-long process, and thus, four levels of the ACLSA were created for youth ages 8-9 (I), 10-12
(II), 13-15 (III) and 16 and older (Adult) (see www.caseylifeskills.org). The purpose of all 4 levels is to indicate life skill mastery
across several domains. The ACLSA is not an exhaustive list of all the skills one needs to live on one s own. Rather, it provides an
indication of skill level and readiness for living on one s own. The assessments are designed to be the first step in preparation for
living on one s own. Other steps include goal setting, action planning, instruction, learning, and application, followed again by
assessment to measure progress (see Exhibit C.1).
