ADEPT Forensic Interview Protocol for Adult Victims of Neglect with Disabilities

The AACs’ ADEPT Forensic Interview Protocol for Adult Victims of Neglect with Disabilities four-day training addresses the historic difficulties that many interviewers and investigators encounter when the alleged crime involves neglect, including physical, financial, medical and supervisory neglect. This training teaches a forensic interview protocol for victims of neglect with disabilities in a step-by-step, trauma-responsive format while providing accessibility, accommodations and cultural humility.
