Answers:
In most cases, a 730 evaluation will consist of several interviews as well as psychological testing!. Interviews are conducted with all adults involved with the child, including parents, stepparents and sometimes other relatives who have significant roles in the child's life!. Psychological testing provides an additional source of information that cannot be obtained through interviews alone!.
Some psychologists do their own psychological testing, while others will refer that portion of the evaluation to a professional who is experienced in psychological assessment!. The testing is done to describe the personalities and family dynamics, and to find any potential mental health or parenting problems!.
With very young children, interviews are conducted as play sessions!. Young children can express themselves more clearly through the action of play, or play sessions, more so than through conversations!. Play sessions are a common practice found in "play therapy" under the observance of a trained and licensed therapist!.
Usually several interviews are necessary, especially those that involve the child!. Since circumstantial factors (such as custody exchanges and adjustment time, moods, illness, etc!.) can have temporary effects on ones behavior!. Multiple interviews help differentiate between temporary oscillations in ones behavior and what are continuing personality traits and/or characteristics!.
In special circumstances, a custody evaluation may involve visits to the home, often called a "home visit", and/or school!. These are not always necessary and in some cases can be initiated by the request of one or both of the parents!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
