How effective is CASA?
Judges have noted the value of the information that a CASA brings to the proceedings and are appreciative of the unique perspective presented by CASAs. In addition, national studies show that a child who has been assigned a CASA is more likely to secure needed services in a timely manner; is moved from placement to placement less frequently; is more likely to have his/her case reviewed regularly by the court; and has a better chance of living in a safe, permanent home than those who do not have CASA representation.
