ADEPT Disability Forensic Interview Protocol
Course Description
The ADEPT Disability Forensic Interview Protocol training is designed for active forensic interviewers who already have completed a basic forensic interview training. The training covers forensic interviewing skills specifically for interviewing people with disabilities, with considerations for disability, accommodations, accessibility, trauma, cultural background, disability culture and its intersections, abuse dynamics, forensic science, alternative pathways to justice for the disability community and disability history.
Curriculum topic areas include how to make adaptations to a forensic interview protocol to provide accommodations and accessibility, conducting a forensic interview involving multiple incidents of abuse, use of diagrams and multiple forensic interviews.
Participants learn through direct instruction using evidence-based research and the presentation of case samples. Small group activities and large group discussions will be used to practice the accommodations needed to conduct a disability forensic interview. The training session will conclude with an individual practicum that is graded using a pass/fail grading system.
