The Positive Achievement Change Tool
Assessment and Case Management System is a comprehensive
assessment and case management process that addresses both
criminogenic needs and protective factors, from the moment a
youth enters the system to the moment they exit. By
outlining the most effective way to work with our youth,
while providing efficiencies for staff and programs, we
allow for the youth’s time in our care to be used as
effectively as possible, and in turn, allow for a more
successful effect in reducing their risk to re-offend.

Predictive Analytics Software Announcement
Recognizing the differences in our continuum
of care from intake to aftercare, the Florida Department of
Juvenile Justice has created assessment instruments and case
planning tools that fit these specific environments while
sharing the same foundational concepts. Assessments
currently include the Community PACT or C-PACT and the
Residential PACT or R-PACT, with a Prevention PACT under
development. Case planning tools include the Youth Empowered
Success Plan and the Residential Performance Plan.
The most important aspect of having a common
assessment and evaluation process across our continuum of
services (from intake through aftercare and release) is that
it provides a common language for information sharing across
program areas and between programs. Subsequent assessments
serve as indicators of progress and improvement that will
correlate with recidivism reduction. This information will
tell us which of our programs are making the greatest impact
and assist with directing limited resources. It also
provides a summary of assessment information that outlines a
program’s treatment successes by domain or category and will
assist staff with identifying appropriate placements, either
non-residential or residential.
