However, when interviewing children with communication challenges, media, including HFDs and free drawings, may be necessary additional tools. For these cases, HFDs should be introduced only if the child has made a verbal disclosure of maltreatment and other clarification options and approaches have been exhausted.en-USforensic interviewhuman figure drawingschild sexual abuseposition paperNCAC publicationArticle
