Gathering the Children’s Input and Presenting Findings to the Parents

 Presented by Donald Saposnek

 2:00pm Eastern, this Thursday, September 30, 2021 (1.5 hours)

This session will provide insight and guidance as to how mediators can strategically present to the parents the information about their child’s development that was gleaned from the child’s input, in a way that the parents can hear it with minimal defensiveness?

The session will address the following issues:

  • Protocol and methods for gaining input from the children.
  • Viewing the children’s input data through a developmental lens.
  • Effectively and strategically presenting the children’s input to the parents.
