SUMMARY:Interviewing Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:Children with neuro-divergent disorders such as ASD are at an increased risk of child maltreatment. This population presents challenges for forensic interviewers as there is great variability in functioning including unique memory and cognitive processes\, linguistic style\, understanding and expression of emotions\, and forming connections with others. Many of these children can provide information about their experiences if the interviewer is able to adapt questioning approaches and the interview strategies to meet the needs of this child. Preparation and flexibility are key. While providing a review of possible domains of impact on functioning\, this training will focus on tips for information gathering\, preparation with the investigative partners to set reasonable expectations\, and adaptations to questioning strategies and interview phases. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview.

SUMMARY:Critical Thinking in the Forensic Interview: moving from rote to responsive practice
DESCRIPTION:Effective forensic interviewers must possess a broad repertoire of skills. Additionally\, forensic interviewers should develop a critical thinking framework to accommodate the needs of the child and the investigative team\, especially in highly complex cases. This training focuses on preparing interviewers to make thoughtful decisions throughout the entirety of the interview. Suggestions for engaging with investigative partners in the adaptations will be addressed. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers wishing to improve their planning\, thinking\, and decision making processes throughout the forensic interview as well as working effectively with investigative partners.

SUMMARY:Forensic Interviews of Preschool Child Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:Forensic interviews of preschool children are challenging\, calling for knowledge of early childhood developmental abilities and limitations\, as well as strategies for developing rapport and maintaining engagement with a preschool witness. A nuanced ability to adapt questioning approaches and the interview protocol to the temperament and linguistic ability of each child is necessary. This training focuses on deepening understanding of preschool capabilities as well as strategies for obtaining information from the youngest witnesses. \nThis training is recommended for child forensic interviewers who have received no formal training on interviewing preschool children\, as well as those who lack comfort in interviewing this population.

SUMMARY:Interviewing Children with Problematic Sexual Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:Children exhibiting problematic sexual behaviors may be referred for a forensic interview. CAC forensic interviewers whose mission is to interview children about potential maltreatment they have experienced and not as offenders find themselves balancing their mandate with the goals of investigators and concerned parents. This training will provide information to help forensic interviewers distinguish normative from problematic sexual behavior in children\, identify potential contributing factors to the behavior\, dispel common misconceptions about these behaviors and children\, and have a more robust and evidence-informed response to these cases. Interview adaptations and recommendations will be provided. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview.

SUMMARY:Supervision of Child Forensic Interviewers
DESCRIPTION:Forensic interviewing with children and adolescents demands more than training—it requires strategy. This advanced training equips supervisors with the tools to coach and elevate interviewers across four essential areas: question typology\, protocol adherence\, social support\, and critical thinking. Practical guidance and adaptations will be provided for all experience levels—helping your team grow with confidence and consistency. \nThis training is open to those having previous and/or ongoing experience in conducting forensic interviews and are currently responsible for the skill development and support of other interviewers.

SUMMARY:Increasing Skill in Forensic Interviewing of Children
DESCRIPTION:Mastering the use of optimal questioning strategies and legally defensible social support requires additional training beyond an initial one-week class. This course deepens interviewers’ understanding of the why and how of effective questioning strategies and the provision of sensitive and targeted social support. Opportunities for practice are provided. \nThis training is highly recommended as the first follow-up training for newer interviewers as well as those who wish to refresh and update their skills.

SUMMARY:Forensic Interviewing with High-Risk Youth: Identifying and Responding to Trafficking Concerns
DESCRIPTION:Children identified as potential trafficking/exploitation victims present many challenges in the forensic interview. Challenges range from reluctance to disclose information to the disclosure of multiple victimizations by numerous offenders occurring in various locations. This training will equip interviewers with skills to effectively plan for and conduct the high-risk or trafficking interview. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview.

SUMMARY:More Than One Interview: When\, Why\, and How
DESCRIPTION:Forensic interviewers and multi-disciplinary partners recognize the shortcomings of strict adherence to a “one and done” interview approach. Research provides some clarification of reasons why a child may need more than one interview and limited recommendations for implementation\, leaving forensic interviewers and their investigative partners with little clarity about how to apply this information to day-to-day practice. This training will review supportive literature\, introduce a decision-making process for selecting appropriate cases\, and guidance for conducting follow-up forensic interviews. Recommendations for explaining and defending the multi-session approach is included. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview.

SUMMARY:Interviewing Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:Children with neuro-divergent disorders such as ASD are at an increased risk of child maltreatment. This population presents challenges for forensic interviewers as there is great variability in functioning including unique memory and cognitive processes\, linguistic style\, understanding and expression of emotions\, and forming connections with others. Many of these children can provide information about their experiences if the interviewer is able to adapt questioning approaches and the interview strategies to meet the needs of this child. Preparation and flexibility are key. While providing a review of possible domains of impact on functioning\, this training will focus on tips for information gathering\, preparation with the investigative partners to set reasonable expectations\, and adaptations to questioning strategies and interview phases. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview.
