MULTI-DISCIPLINE
60’s to 70’s
--members come from
several disciplines
--each of them work
independently from
assessment of the child to
planning of intervention
programs.
--Parents will go from one
professional to the next
--One by one conference
with each one
--described as a patchwork
quilt
--some of the reports are
even contrary to the report
of the others
--there is lack of
communication among the
professionals
--no integrated and unified
plan
INTERDISCIPLINE
LATE 70’S to 90’s
--next wave evolving from
dissatisfaction from previous
practice
-- Members evaluate
independently then they
meet for program
development and
instructional recognitions
which result from sharing
and joined planning, it
produces an integrated plan .
--the services are still
provided in isolation from
one another.
--SPED teacher generally acts
as coordinating agent and
together they make an
intervention plan, IEP
--delivery is still “to each his
own”
TRANSDISCIPLINARY
present-day times
-- Based on communication
and sharing, they plan a
holistic approach
--The concept is still similar
to INTERDISCIPLINE but there
is the concept of
ROLE RELEASE- the
professionals release their
role to a designated member
of the team, usually to the
SPED teacher who acts as
primary team leader and can
inculcate the light activities
to the IEP of the child
--The purpose is to pool and
integrate the expertise of the
team members so that a
more efficient and
comprehensive assessment
and intervention service
maybe provided.
--AIM: To prevent
fragmentation and
compartmentalization thru a
unified approach to service
and delivery where the
parents are full-fledged
members of the team
