Abstract:
This paper provides a progress report on facets of a wider study of interprofessional teamwork that supports a child with severe disabilities in a regular child care centre. Particular attention is paid to the grounded theory methodology being employed and some findings that are emerging.One of the key factors leading to successful integration of a child with severe disabilities into a regular care and educational placement is the quality of teamwork displayed by all those whose efforts support the initiative-teachers, care-givers, therapists, parents, medical practitioners, aides and the child's peers.
