Interviewing StrategiesPart B: Conducting an InterviewThis website contains interview information related to children with disabilities that will provide not only specific strategies, but more importantly give you a better personal “sense” about these children, especially if you have limited experiences in working with them. Decisions were made from the very beginning that the materials presented in this section, especially related to videotape clips, would not deal directly with interview content specific to child abuse, given the sensitive and confidential nature of those topics. However, this section contains a wealth of information and examples of conducting a variety of conversations with children with disabilities, along with commentary by parents and/or professionals related to critical concerns. It is hoped that this information and content can easily be translated to child abuse types of interviewing. The children, parents and professionals who contributed to this section of the website have graciously allowed this information to be included in order to advance the understanding and knowledge base related to these children and adults with the hope that greater protection for this population can be achieved at all levels. Refer also to Disability Jargon or Resources sections in order to assist in any further clarification. Video/Audio segments are indicated if appropriate to any of these sections. In addition, specific Resource Articles are indicated |
