Sample Interview Questions and Answers

Question 1: Can you describe a situation where you had to intervene in a crisis situation involving a youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities? How did you de-escalate the situation?

I recall a situation where I was working as a support professional for youth with autism. One of our residents, let's call him Alex, became overwhelmed and began to exhibit aggressive behavior towards his peers. As a trained crisis interventionist, I immediately assessed the situation and recognized that Alex needed a calm and safe space to de-escalate. I quickly guided Alex to a quiet area where he could process his emotions without feeling threatened or anxious. Using active listening skills and empathetic language, I helped Alex identify what was causing him distress and worked with him to develop strategies for coping with those feelings in the future. Through this process, Alex was able to calm down and rejoin his peers without incident. In reflecting on this experience, I realize that intervening in crisis situations requires a deep understanding of the individual's needs, as well as effective communication and problem-solving skills.

Question 2: How would you approach teaching social skills to a youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities? Can you give an example of a successful skill-building strategy?

When working with youth who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, it's essential to tailor social skill instruction to meet their unique learning needs. I believe in using evidence-based practices such as Positive Behavioral Supports (PBS) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). In one instance, I worked with a young adult named Sarah who struggled with initiating conversations with peers. To support her development of this skill, we created a step-by-step plan that involved role-playing different social scenarios, practicing active listening skills, and gradually introducing new vocabulary related to social interactions. We also incorporated visual aids such as pictures or charts to help Sarah remember key steps in the conversation process. Over time, Sarah demonstrated significant progress in initiating conversations with her peers, and we were able to generalize this skill to various settings within our facility.

Question 3: How do you ensure that your interactions with youth are culturally sensitive and respectful? Can you provide an example of a situation where you recognized and responded to the cultural needs of a youth?

I firmly believe that building trust and rapport with youth requires acknowledging and respecting their individual cultural backgrounds. In my experience, I have worked with youth from diverse racial, ethnic, and linguistic communities. One specific instance comes to mind when working with a young man named Juan, who identified as Latinx. During our interactions, I made a conscious effort to use inclusive language and avoid making assumptions about his culture or identity. When Juan mentioned that he was looking forward to celebrating the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday, I took the opportunity to learn more about this significant cultural event and show genuine interest in it. By doing so, I created a safe space for Juan to share his experiences and values, which ultimately strengthened our relationship and facilitated more effective support.
