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. Audience: This 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. ________________________________ [cid:image002.png at 01DCDDF6.231B5780]National Events & Trainings National Children?s Alliance Leadership Conference Dates: June 29-July 1, 2026 Location: The Westin DC Downtown, 999 9th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001 Cost: The early registration fee is $700 for Members and $750 for Non-members that register by March 31, 2026.
