Publisher's Synopsis
This title addresses the issues regarding the inherent mismatch between the needs of the legal system and the capabilities of young children, especially problematic when legal decisions with potentially serious consequences depend on the results of the interview. Despite an interviewer's best intentions, without accommodations to a child's developmental level, interviews can result in false reports, miscommunication, and misinterpretation. This guide presents an innovative approach to close the gap by providing the scaffolding, structure, and guidance children need to perform optimally.
