Using Motivational Interviewing Strategies for Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Conversations

This training by Robert Gallen PhD, is a follow-up to Dr. Gallen's motivational interviewing training, "Tough Conversations: Making the Most of Difficult Situations." In this session, Dr. Gallen will explain how the principles of motivational interviewing can be applied to conversations with the IFSP Team about the Child Outcomes Summary (COS). He will discuss how to engage parents and caregivers in the COS conversation and how to come to team consensus about the ratings in the three global areas of child functioning. Learners will understand and be able to implement motivational interviewing strategies to engage parents and caregivers in the COS conversation and to facilitate the process with the entire IFSP team.
