Description
How do you know if you’re asking the right questions, to elicit the most pertinent information?
As clinicians, you must not only understand your clients’ impairment/disability but also see the world through their eyes.
In this recording, Dr. Carol Westby will explain how information gained through ethnographic interviewing – asking the right questions to the right person in the right way – can enable you to design assessments and interventions to meet your clients’ needs and goals.
You will learn how to conduct an ethnographic interview and analyze the information gained to:
- Identify barriers to client’s participation
- Convey respect
- Promote reciprocity
- Encourage responsiveness to the clients’ or families’ perspective
Ethnographic interviews can be used with all clients and their families and are critical when you don’t share their cultural/linguistic background. Video demonstrations are woven throughout the presentation to show the types of questions/interactions.
