The Ansell-Casey Life Skills Assessment (ACLSA)

The Ansell-Casey Life Skills Assessment (ACLSA) is an evaluation of youth independent living skills. It consists of statements about life skills that the youth and his/her caregivers complete. All assessments and the scored reports are free of charge.

The ACLSA was designed to be as free as possible from gender, ethnic, and cultural biases. It is appropriate for all youths regardless of living circumstances, whether with one parent, in foster care, in group homes or in other places. The ACLSA does not collect personal identification information and the results are kept anonymous. The anonymous scores will contribute to the evaluation of this instrument and inform future versions of the ACLSA.

Suggested age ranges for ACLSA use:

  • ACLSA-I (ages 8-9 with 37 questions)
  • ACLSA-II (ages 10-12 with 56 questions)
  • ACLSA-III (ages 13-15 with 81 questions)
  • ACLSA-IV (ages 16 and up with 118 questions)
