The CWL is completed by the caregiver and practitioner together. Questions are scored on a 5 point response scale and read out-loud to encourage the caregiver to add other contextually relevant information.
After marking all the items, the caregiver is asked to describe, in their own words, their “top three wishes” – the things they would most like to change about their parenting approach. Once the CWL questions are completed, parents often self-identify their parenting strengths and challenges in relation to the unique needs of their child.
The CWL can be re-administered to generate pre-to-post outcomes. The integrated export tool makes it easy to select variables and aggregate data for program evaluation or continuous quality improvement.
Three convenient training options are available for the CAFAS, JIFF, PECFAS and CWL.
