Dr. Robin McWilliam

Gale, Wendy Barnard, and I had a conference call this week with Dr. Robin McWilliam. We have ordered the Routine Based Interview video so that we can view an example of how the interview process works. Plans are being arranged for viewing the video during our zone meeting scheduled for Nov. 13.

If you are ready to try the RBI, feel free to do so. You may interview alone, or ask Wendy to accompany you and take notes for you. Either way is ok. You don't have to wait to see the video, if you are ready to start. If you are hesitant, it certainly is ok to wait and try the interview after viewing the video.

He did suggest that you plan to spend a minimum of one hour interviewing. If the interview doesn't last an hour, you probably haven't went deep enough and won't be able to write functional outcomes. At least 6 outcomes should be evident from the interview; and then you can help the family prioritize them.
