Watch the following lessons:
- Entering a Child Visit & an Interview with a Foster Parent (2:52)
- This lesson demonstrates another common entry. In many cases the child may be in a foster home and visits will take place in the presence of the foster parent. While primarily a child visit, the CASA/GAL will want to interview the foster parent about the child’s development and behaviors–especially if the child is an infant or has other communication issues. This lesson demonstrates how to enter both the visit with the child and the interview with the foster parent.
- Entering an Interview with a Parent (3:02)
- This lesson demonstrates how to enter an interview when the child is not present. In this case, the interview is with the biological mother in the Harris-Price case.
- Entering an Interview with a Parent Using Optima-go (11:00)
- This lesson starts by demonstrating how to enter an interview with a parent using a laptop/desktop. This lesson then uses the same interview data to demonstrate how to enter it in Optima-go using a smartphone and a smart tablet. The lesson ends with a demonstration of how information entered in Optima-go can be edited with a laptop/desktop.
Reminder: Go back to Case Item 2-EM Bob Johnson, DCFS Caseworker – Interview by Phone and enter that interview in Optima.
