Abstract
In spite of federal and state encouragement for interdisciplinary/interagency collaboration, the human factor remains critical to effective teaming. Informal networking between related service personnel has characterized teaming, particularly for low incidence handicaps. Preservice training, however, has not directly addressed these specific suggestions for incorporating methods and activities into the existing special education departmental framework. Preliminary evaluation of the model as well as first-year follow up has been positive. Recommendations for adapting and extending activities within and across coursework are presented.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
