  • Confirm the best way to conduct the interview – face to face, by phone, or by e-mail. Agree on a date and time. Be sure you have the correct phone number or e-mail address, as well as permission to do the interview.
  • Ask the age and category(ies) of special needs of the person you are speaking with, or of the child in the family, to help you prepare for the interview.
  • If you are interviewing a family member, review the readings from this week and other related readings from the course.
  • Review information about the relevant category(ies) of special needs. Pay particular attention to overgeneralizations and stereotypes that you do not want to bring to the conversation.
  • If you plan to tape-record the interview, test your recorder to be sure it works.
