ITEM 3 – Family Therapy
32 = Other Counselor or Therapist (Item 3, 4, 8, 9)
Sometimes other professionals are available to provide face-to-face counseling, advice and "therapy". If the professional discipline of the counselor is unclear, this code should be used. But if the person is addressed as "doctor", one of the doctoral level codes should be used (30, 31, 35, 36).
35 = Psychiatrist (Item 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9)
Refers to a physician (MD degree) who has been trained specially in mental and emotional problems. Often sees and treats many of the same problems treated by a psychologist, but the psychiatrist can prescribe medications and order laboratory and other medical tests.

37 = Social Worker (Item 3, 4, 6, 8, 9)
Refers to a mental health expert who usually has a Master's degree rather than a doctoral degree (though sometimes has a 'D.S.W.' - doctorate of social work degree) and is trained to provide counseling, case management, or supportive services to children, adolescents, and/or adults with mental health problems. Is not referred to by "Doctor" title. Cannot prescribe medications or conduct psychological testing.
44 = Family Therapist (Item 3)
May refer to someone where it is unclear whether he or she has a PhD (psychologist, code 36), MD (psychiatrist, code 35), or social work degree (code 37). Any of these professionals may call themselves a 'family therapist', so if that is their designation as it is known to the family, this code then applies. But if more details are known (e.g., MD, PhD., or MSW), then those alternative codes should be used.
48 = Psychiatrist or Psychologist (Item 3, 4, 6, 8, 9)
This category is used to refers to a mental health expert who has a doctoral degree and the parent is unable to specify whether the specialist was a psychiatrist/physician, a psychologist, or a doctoral-level social worker, etc. Is usually referred to by "Doctor" title. If the specialist prescribes medications, the 35 code (for psychiatrist) should be used. If the person does not have a doctoral degree, the codes 43, 44, or 45 may be applicable. If the parent is uncertain, use code 99.
64 = Family Therapy (Item 3)
This refers to a therapy/counseling situation where the focus of the treatment is on a family. Usually this will entail the involvement of 2 or more family members simultaneously in the therapy session, although from time to time a single-family member may meet alone with the therapist. Family therapy is likely to be provided by a mental health professional, and can be billed in most instances for insurance reimbursement. Key features are that it is done with one family (though from time to time, several families may participate in multifamily group meetings - also coded as 64), and that the focus is on treating a family problem and/or strengthening some aspect of the family's rules, structure, or functioning. A brief family session or discussion of less than 10 minutes duration with 2 or more family members in the course of a visit where some other treatment is being given should not be counted as "family therapy."
99 = Other
This code should be used ONLY when no other code applies. A description must be provided when “other” is used.

If the parent is uncertain, use code 99.
62 = Group Therapy or other Group Treatment for the child (Item 4)
This refers to a situation where multiple children are provided some type of behavioral or mental health treatment in a group setting. The focus of the group might be on behaviors, emotions, or even social skills development. Key features are that it is done with multiple children (2 or more), and that the focus is on treating or correcting a problem and/or strengthening some aspect of the child's emotional, social, or behavioral function.
63 = Individual Therapy/Counseling for the child (Item 4)
This refers to a therapy/counseling situation where the focus of the treatment is a single child. A session should be at least 10 minutes in length to count as a counseling session. While at times another person (e.g., a parent) may be asked to join in a therapy session, the child is identified as the patient or client. The treatment is likely to be provided by a mental health professional, and can be billed in most instances for insurance reimbursement. Key features are that it is done with one child and that the focus is on treating a problem and/or strengthening some aspect of the child's mental health functioning. A brief counseling session or discussion of less than 10 minutes duration with the child in the course of a visit where some other treatment is being given should not be counted as "individual therapy/counseling."
90 = In-home case management (Item 4)
Refers to a service provided in the home usually by a social worker that helps the family secure services from their community. The case manager may also provide training to the family in behavior management, parenting practices, or job skills.

SCAPI Glossary of Codes – 05/05/04 Page 1 of 40
ITEM 5 – Overnight Stays for Subject
80 = Psychiatric Hospitalization (Item 5)
This refers to a hospital stay overnight in a psychiatric hospital, or on a psychiatric ward/unit of a general hospital. A psychiatric hospitalization can be distinguished from a hospitalization on a general medical or pediatric unit or ward, where patients with all kinds of conditions are treated. A psychiatric unit or psychiatric hospital has specialized treatment staff trained to deliver the psychiatric treatments and maintain the specialized environment and set of programs for the psychiatric patients.
82 = Boarding School (therapeutic) (Item 5)
This refers to a private school where the child lives, usually throughout the school year. At a minimum, the child stays at the school facility overnight throughout the school week. Structured behavioral programs characterize these boarding schools that are often highly academic. For boys, some of these schools are referred to as 'military schools'.
83 = Juvenile Detention Facility (Item 5, 16)
This refers to a youth facility where a child/adolescent is placed/sentenced because of juvenile offenses and criminal conduct. This is a court-ordered placement, and often lasts for weeks or months. It is also a facility where a child/adolescent can be held between their arrest and their hearing, if they cannot be released to parents. This is known as "pre-trial detention".
85 = Residential Treatment Facility Placement (Item 5, 16)
Refers to an 'out-of-home' placement in a specialized facility that provides mental health treatments, specialized behavioral programs, counseling, and school as a part of the facility. These placements are usually for a minimum of several months, and are sometimes an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization. These are not hospital facilities. Sometimes children go out to school while living in residential treatment. In some cases, there are even 1-1 staff that go into the public school with them.
86 = Foster Home Placement (Item 5, 16)
Refers to placement by the court and/or county social services of the child out of his/her regular home into another private home with 'foster parents' (or sometimes 'foster relatives') who are paid to provide domestic care in their own home.
87 = Adult Prison (Item 5)
Refers to any long-term court ordered incarceration.
88 = Adult Jail (Item 5)
Refers to any short-term court ordered incarceration.
150 = Group Home/Half-way House (Item 5, 16)
Supervised living arrangements for 3 or more individuals who no longer need hospital or residential treatment but cannot return home or live by self. Also used as a step-down facility for children returning from secure corrections who are not yet ready to return home or live independently in the community.
153 = Boot camp – non-military (Item 5, 16) This refers to a program where a child/adolescent is placed/sentenced, usually after being adjudicated for delinquent or status offenses (status offenses are acts that are only illegal because it was performed by a minor). Boot camps typically have a military-style environment which is very structured and regimented and includes wearing uniforms and engaging in physically challenging activities. Emphasis is placed on discipline, education, and vocational training.
154 = Secure correctional facility (Item 16)
Juveniles are ordered by a judge to spend time in a locked facility as a result of their involvement in status offenses (status offenses are acts that are only illegal because it was performed by a minor) or delinquent offenses. Although there may be educational, vocational, and mental health programming offered, this is clearly a correctional environment, with an emphasis on sanctions and accountability for inappropriate behavior. In some ways, this is the juvenile justice system version of an adult prison.
99 = Other
This code should be used ONLY when no other code applies. A description must be provided when “other” is used.
SCAPI Glossary of Codes – 05/05/04 Page 1 of 40
ITEM 6 – School Help for Subject
11 = Special help in the child's academic classroom to manage behavior (e.g., aide, or a special behavioral program) (Item 6)
This refers to behavioral programs or assistance given to the child in the regular, academic classroom, and might be provided by an aide or teacher's helper, above and beyond what the primary classroom teacher normally provides. Include an academic aide without which the child would have behavior problems. This does not refer to what the teacher him/herself does routinely in the course of their standard classroom responsibilities, but might involve special intervention, procedures or strategies specifically targeted to the child, such as a daily report card, a daily reward/consequence system, etc. Reward programs for the entire class of children should NOT be included here. The critical issue is that the special assistance is provided in that daily setting, rather than the child leaving the class to go to another classroom, building, or office for that assistance.
