for the \u000bRoutines-Based Interview™\nWith Ecomap\nIntroduction\nThe Routines-Based InterviewTM (RBI) is a semi-structured clinical interview designed to help families decide on outcomes/goals for their individualized plans, to provide a rich and thick description of child and family functioning, and to establish an immediately positive relationship between the family and the professional. Ideally, interviewers are trained to conduct the RBI. On the other hand, with the use of this protocol, a professional who is knowledgeable about child development, knowledgeable about child and family functioning, and who has good interview skills should be able to conduct a successful RBI.\nThe protocol can be used from the beginning of the process (i.e., making arrangements) through to the family’s putting goals they’ve selected into priority order. Space is provided for the professional to write down information at the different stages of the interview. Because the RBI is a needs assessment as well as a descriptive assessment of child and family functioning, some professionals will want to keep a copy of a completed protocol. The family should approve of how the protocol is being used.\nThe protocol is organized in the order in which steps in the process happen. Spoken statements, which of course the interviewer can modify, are in bold italics. The document is organized as a fillable pdf to protect the original version. It can be completed by hand or with typing.\nArrangements\nWhen scheduling the RBI, tell the family,\nThe meeting will last 2 hours;\nIt’s an in-depth discussion about you and your family’s day-to-day living or as much of it as you want to tell us;\nThe main purpose is to find out how early intervention can best support you and your family;\nIn addition to yourself, is there anyone else you would like to have involved in this discussion?\nWe can meet at your home or another quiet place.  What location would work best for you?\nThe meeting works best if there aren’t too many distractions, so is there anyone to watch the child(ren)? If not, it’s OK. We can manage.\nWhat time would work best for you? Remember, we’ll need 2 hours.\nIf the child is to be present, ask for the home. This will increase the likelihood that materials such as toys, diapers, and food will all be available.\nIf you prefer, find a secondary interviewer. This is recommended, especially for inexperienced interviewers or those who find it difficult to take notes while keeping a conversation going.\nBe clear with the secondary interviewer what role you would like them to play. Examples include\nWriting notes;\nHelping to ask questions about most routines (if you really want the secondary interviewer to do almost a joint interview);\nAsking questions if you miss something important (if you really want to do the interview mostly on your own);\nMinimizing distractions, such as by entertaining children (always the role of the secondary interviewer, not the primary, if someone has to do it);\nScoring an instrument based on the interviewees’ answers.\nName of parent making arrangements:\nChild’s name:\nChild’s age:\t\tDate & Time of interview:\nPlace of interview:\nPrimary interviewer:\nSecondary interviewer:\n\u000fSet Up\nSeat primary interviewee (e.g., mother) at 45 degrees to primary interviewer.\nSeat family members together and secondary interviewer next to primary.\nIf given a choice, a kitchen or dining room table is slightly better than living room furniture, but it’s not worth insisting.\nIntroductions: Make sure everyone knows who everyone is and why he or she is there.\nPresent for Interview\n\u000f\nIntroduction to the RBI and the Eco-Map\nThe main purpose of today’s meeting is to go through the day-to-day activities of your family to find out how early intervention can best support you and your family. This is the best way of organizing our thoughts. If there’s anything you don’t want to say, please don’t say it! You can end this at any time. OK?
