The Routines Based Interview (RBI) is a semi-structured interview used with families, teachers, and childcare providers in order to obtain a rich description of child and family function in everyday routines and activities. Child and family strengths, challenges and priorities are identified during the assessment. The information gathered during the interview captures assessment data that guides the writing of functional outcomes for individual children and their families. The RBI is the tool used in Nebraska to gather information for child and family assessment.
