Abstract

The interview is a critical component of the psychological assessment of a child. In addition to the standard unstructured interview, several structured interviews have been developed for use with children and their parents/caregivers.1 This chapter is designed to introduce and familiarize the reader with not only which interviews are available for use when assessing children, but also with techniques appropriate and effective for use during interviews when a child is the identified client. We discuss considerations in using interview procedures with children who have disabilities as well as other factors related to the use of interviews, such as language dominance. Considerations for basic report writing are also described. © 2009 Springer New York.
