BEYOND THE SINGLE -SESSION : MULTI SESSION

BEYOND THE SINGLE-SESSION: MULTI
SESSION FORENSIC INTERVIEW TRAINING
WHEN KIDS CAN’T JUST SIT STILL, SPEAK
CLEARLY, AND TELL EVERYTHING THEY KNOW
Experienced professionals know there may be occasions when the traditional
model of a single-session forensic interview does not fit a particular individual’s
needs.-This may include interviews with young children or individuals with
disabilities; interviews that require an interpreter; or interviews involving complex
circumstances or allegations. In such situations, an extended forensic interview
process may be beneficial in maximizing the individual’s ability to tell of his or her
experience; yet this must be accomplished while still maintaining the integrity of
the forensic interview process.
