The Adaptive Strategies Compass™
The conversation-navigation tool within Teach to Talk®.
Eight strategic directions · One navigable framework
- 1TEACHExplain, demonstrate, and check the communication task. Return to teaching when the conversation requires it.
- 2ACCESS ModelSix stages: Assess, Collect, Collate, Evaluate, Survey, Summarize.
- 3Communication AdaptationObserve communication needs, make the smallest reasonable adjustment, and verify whether it improves understanding and participation.
- 4Cognitive InterviewThe Enhanced Cognitive Interview (Fisher and Geiselman): research-validated recall accuracy.
- 5Route MapConversation planning that anticipates resistance and branches with the subject.
- 6Barrier MappingFive barriers: Fear, Shame, Loyalty, Distrust, Reactance. Diagnose what stands between the subject and a full account, then remove it.
- 7Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE)Granhag and Hartwig: disciplined evidence sequencing for diagnostic impact, never confrontation.
- 8Alignment MethodChallenge-and-clarify questioning that lets the evidence create the tension, so the interviewer never has to. Clarification, not confrontation.
You don’t need a script. You need a strategy.
