SUMMARY:NCAC Interviewing Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren with neurodivergent disorders such as ASD are at an increased risk of child maltreatment. This population presents challenges for forensic interviewers as there is great variability in functioning including unique memory and cognitive processes\, linguistic style\, understanding and expression of emotions\, and forming connections with others. Many of these children can provide information about their experiences if the interviewer is able to adapt questioning approaches and interview strategies to meet the needs of this child. Preparation and flexibility are key. While providing a review of possible domains of impact on functioning\, this training will focus on tips for information gathering\, preparation with the investigative partners to set reasonable expectations\, and adaptations to questioning strategies and interview phases. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies and the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC

SUMMARY:NCAC Critical Thinking in the Forensic Interview: Moving From Rote to Responsive Practice
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nEffective forensic interviewers must possess a broad repertoire of skills. Additionally\, forensic interviewers should develop a critical thinking framework to accommodate the needs of the child and the investigative team\, especially in highly complex cases. This training focuses on preparing interviewers to make thoughtful decisions throughout the entirety of the interview. Suggestions for engaging with investigative partners in the adaptations will be addressed. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers wishing to improve their planning\, thinking\, and decision-making processes throughout the forensic interview as well as working effectively with investigative partners. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Friday\, June 12\, 2026

SUMMARY:NCAC Forensic Interviews of Preschool Child Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nForensic interviews of preschool children are challenging\, calling for knowledge of early childhood developmental abilities and limitations\, as well as strategies for developing rapport and maintaining engagement with a preschool witness. A nuanced ability to adapt questioning approaches and the interview protocol to the temperament and linguistic ability of each child is necessary. This training focuses on deepening understanding of preschool capabilities as well as strategies for obtaining information from the youngest witnesses. \nThis training is recommended for child forensic interviewers who have received no formal training on interviewing preschool children\, as well as those who lack comfort in interviewing this population. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Tuesday\, June 30\, 2026

SUMMARY:NCAC Interviewing Children with Problematic Sexual Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren exhibiting problematic sexual behaviors may be referred for a forensic interview. CAC forensic interviewers whose mission is to interview children about potential maltreatment they have experienced and not as offenders find themselves balancing their mandate with the goals of investigators and concerned parents. This training will provide information to help forensic interviewers distinguish normative from problematic sexual behavior in children\, identify potential contributing factors to the behavior\, dispel common misconceptions about these behaviors and children\, and have a more robust and evidence-informed response to these cases. Interview adaptations and recommendations will be provided. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Tuesday\, July 14\, 2026 \n

SUMMARY:NCAC | Forensic Interviewing with High-Risk Youth: Identifying and Responding to Trafficking Concerns
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren identified as potential trafficking/exploitation victims present many challenges in the forensic interview. Challenges range from reluctance to disclose information to the disclosure of multiple victimizations by numerous offenders occurring in various locations. This training will equip interviewers with skills to effectively plan for and conduct the high-risk or trafficking interview. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Wednesday\, October 14\, 2026 \n

SUMMARY:NCAC More Than One Interview: When\, Why\, and How
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nForensic interviewers and multi-disciplinary partners recognize the shortcomings of strict adherence to a “one and done” interview approach. Research provides some clarification of reasons why a child may need more than one interview and limited recommendations for implementation\, leaving forensic interviewers and their investigative partners with little clarity about how to apply this information to day-to-day practice. This training will review supportive literature\, introduce a decision-making process for selecting appropriate cases\, and guidance for conducting follow-up forensic interviews. Recommendations for explaining and defending the multi-session approach are included. This training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies and the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Tuesday\, October 20\, 2026.
