 ====Expert views of the child reports====
-Expert views of the child reports usually wind up looking like condensed needs of the child assessments that focus on the child's reports to the assessor. They include an opinion as to whether the child's reported preferences represent the child's true preferences, whether the child was coached to report the preferences reported, and perhaps whether the child is being alienated from one parent by the other parent.

 The assessor will usually meet with the child at least once, in fact probably more than once, and may administer a number of psychological tests intended to give the assessor more insight into the child's preferences and state of mind. The assessor may or may not collect additional information from the parents or the other people involved in the child's life.
