Cognitive Assessment System (CAS)
The Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) is a standardized tool used to measure different mental processes that affect thinking, learning, and problem-solving. It evaluates four key areas: planning, attention, simultaneous processing (integrating information), and successive processing (sequencing information). By understanding strengths and weaknesses in these areas, educators and clinicians can better identify learning difficulties or cognitive strengths. The CAS helps tailor educational strategies or interventions to improve overall functioning. It is a comprehensive assessment that provides valuable insights into how individuals process information, aiding in developing personalized support plans.
