Integrating Related Services in Community Instruction

Abstract
Community-based instruction and transdisciplinary teamwork have been advocated as desirable elements of educational services for students with severe disabilities. As more students receive instruction in community environments, the need for related services personnel to participate in program development and implementation in off-campus locations becomes more evident. This article presents guidelines and examples of how transdisciplinary teams can deliver services to students with severe disabilities in community environments. Recommendations are also given for scheduling and other aspects of effective teamwork.
