TWIST automatically populates the child's maltreatment history into the presentation summary narrative. This should be utilized as a guide for the presentation summary packet writer to summarize the maltreatment. Presentation summary packet writers should ensure that perpetrator names and identifying information are not included, specifically for perpetrators who are not the child's birth parents.
