The NTDC Self-Assessment survey provides prospective foster, kinship or adoptive parents the opportunity to learn more about yourself while considering the characteristics and competencies that are important when parenting children who have experienced trauma, separation and loss.
The Self-Assessment results are confidential and available only to you. The goal is for you to learn as much as you can about yourself.
The Self-Assessment is not a test; there are no right or wrong answers and it’s not something you pass or fail.
Upon completion of the Self-Assessment, you will be given feedback to help guide next steps in your learning journey.
The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. If unable to complete it in one sitting, you will be able to return and complete.
