To prepare recommendations, a CASA/GAL volunteer talks with the child, parents, family members, case workers, school officials, health providers and others who have knowledge of the child’s history. A CASA/GAL volunteer observes interactions between the child and parent, visits the parent’s home and reviews documents and case-related material (i.e.: school records, medical records, children services records, etc.) pertaining to the child. Collectively, the information gathered is analyzed in order to form a recommendation.
