communication and collaboration Family Primary Provider TEAM SUPPORT
Professionals come together with the family for evaluation. A primary provider works with family members to provide ongoing services. Consultation occurs with others as needed and co-visits occur to share and teach. Transdisciplinary Professionals from two or more disciplines work independently of each other toward the same purpose. Professionals evaluate and provide services separately. Multidisciplinary Professionals and family members work toward common goals. Professionals may evaluate children separately but jointly discuss results and develop intervention plans. Interdisciplinary
Key Principle • The family’s priorities, needs, and interests are addressed most appropriately by a primary provider who represents and receives team and community support. Workgroup on Principles and Practices in Natural Environments , OSEP TA Community of Practice: Part C Settings.(2008, March)

Family Centered and Relationship-Based • The PSP really knows the family and provides holistic support minimizing their need to decipher information from multiple providers • Natural Environments • The PSP gets to know the family routines, activities, places and interactions and helps find ways to use these as natural learning opportunities • Children’s Learning • With the parent, the PSP learns what interests and engages the child and helps parents gradually build on children's learning • Adult Learning • The PSP understands the parent’s learning style versus the parent having to decipher information from multiple providers
