The NCAC Developmental Pathways approach provides direction, emphasize areas for essential skill development, and highlight multiple areas of necessary competence.
The four pathways are (1) skill development, (2) supervision and mentoring, (3) working within the system, and (4) special issues.

The Learning Continues with Deep Practice
What Forensic Interviewers are saying about Developmental Pathways:
More Than One Interview: When, Why, and How
"I learned so much from Linda Steele. I feel that I got a lot of new information on how to do extended interviews. I learned ways to ask questions in different ways that I had not thought of. Networking with different interviewers was great also."
More Than One Interview: When, Why, and How
"I was able to learn the current recommendations for additional interviews and the supporting research. I am eager to bring this knowledge back to my MDT and apply it to my work with children."
Getting the Best Information from a Narrative Child Witness
"Andra's experience and willingness to share was invaluable."
