I’ve done my DWI Assessment. Now What?
SESSION INFO
Monday, March 2, 2026
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Around the country, courts and probation departments have adopted DWI specific assessment tools such as APPA’s Impaired Driving Assessment to better capture the unique criminogenic risk factors of the impaired driving population. While these tools may capture the factors that contribute to the risk of a new DWI, it can be a challenge to effectively translate this information to a supervision case plan. In particular, practitioners who work with impaired drivers typically see a high degree of defensiveness, low motivation to make changes and even a reluctance to recognize that they participated in criminal conduct. This interactive presentation will provide practical tools to debrief DWI assessment results with your client, and take this information to build a collaborative case supervision plan focused on those domains that contribute most to DWI recidivism.
