Multidisciplinary Assessment Team
Multidisciplinary Assessment Team (MAT) is a collaboration between the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The assessment is designed to ensure that all children or youth and family or caregiver’s needs and strengths are assessed when a child or youth enters foster care. Children and youth (ages 0 to 18 years) who enter out-of-home placements, or who are under a Voluntary Family Maintenance (VFM) case, and under the age of five with higher risk factors, are assessed, and the Summary of Findings (SOF) Report is completed within 30-45 days of assignment. The information gathered by the assessment and SOF is used to determine what interventions and services are needed to meet the needs of the child or youth.
