Court Appointed Special Advocates - Clark County, IN

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASAs advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children involved in the court system in Clark County. Parents are most often appointed attorneys, the child is not; rather a CASA is appointed. The CASA is responsible for taking the time to find out as much as possible about the child. CASAs interview parents, family members, talk to teachers, social workers, health providers, and most importantly, visit the child regularly. CASAs submit a report to the court and attend hearings to recommend what is best for the child.
