Printable Agenda and Registration

We are back in-person for the OPAA Juvenile Prosecutor training! This year’s topics include an overview of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative past and present; a juvenile case law and legislative update; and an afternoon of a look into forensic assessment of malingering and deception in children. We hope you will join us!

Thursday, October 14th

9:00 - 10:00                Registration and Continental Breakfast

10:00 – 11:00               Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative
Ohio’s JDAI strives to eliminate the use of secure detention without sacrificing public safety.  This program will discuss those counties already utilizing their core strategies along with providing an over-view of the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI), those core strategies and practices, and discuss the benefits of collaboratively serving youth in the least restrictive setting necessary to balance public safety and positive youth development along with  demonstrating how sites use data to objectively recognize areas of opportunity while developing informed solutions.
Corey Shrieve, JDAI Administrator
                                    Ohio Department of Youth Services

11:00 – 11:15               Break

11:15 - 12:15               Juvenile Case Law and Legislative Update
This session will review relevant case law in the areas of juvenile delinquency, juvenile traffic, abuse, neglect & dependency, and other relevant matters of juvenile law, as well as recently adopted and pending legislation that affects juvenile practitioners.  Cases covered will be from each of Ohio’s appellate districts as well as the Ohio Supreme Court.  Attendees will gain a better knowledge of recent developments in juvenile practice.
Judge David A. Hejmanowski
Delaware County

12:15 - 1:15                 Lunch

1:15 - 2:15                   Forensic Assessment of Malingering and Deception in Children and Adolescents
Clinicians providing psychological assessments to the juvenile court increasingly must confront issues of symptom validity or effort in evaluations of youth before the court. Yet, there is little research and even fewer measures concerning the assessment of malingering or deception in children and adolescents. Assessment of malingering or feigning, as is the case with forensic assessments in general, must be developmentally appropriate and requires specialized knowledge and training. This workshop will review current research, conceptual models, and assessment methodologies. Case illustrations will be presented including the use of the MMPI-A-RF as well as other relevant instruments.
