16th Symposium on Child Custody: Workshop 33 Evaluation

Interviewing Children and Adolescents
Interviewing children and adolescents can be an anxiety provoking experience for the parenting plan evaluator. This workshop will provide specific training in the area of interviewing children and adolescents for Parenting Plan Evaluations. Specific focus will be on the use of developmentally appropriate language, the differences between a clinical interview and an interview for the purpose of PPE, and children with special needs. Strategies for providing parents a framework for the interview to decrease anxiety and specific strategies for interviewing and building rapport with children will be explored. Children with special needs that may have a neurodiverse developmental profile will also be addressed.
