This lesson plan provides guidelines for adjudicating children’s claims. Issues addressed
include guidelines for child-sensitive interview techniques and considerations for the
legal analysis of claims involving child applicants. While the legal analysis sections
specifically address refugee and asylum claims, other sections, including those that
address child development and procedural issues, are relevant to claims made by children
for other immigration benefits.
