Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of collaborative teamwork in inclusive schools and classes. It provides examples for several disciplines including: (a) speech-language pathology, (b) school psychology, (c) occupational therapy, and (d) physical therapy. The chapter also addresses functions of service providers, decision authority practices, and the importance of establishing educational relevance and necessity of services to align with the "related services" provisions of the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).
