Priorities for Partnerships
• Families with a higher “perceived level of burden” from the special needs of their child
• Racial/ethnic “minorities” • Lower socioeconomic status • Fewer social supports

Possible Barriers• Professionals not willing to move from a
discipline-specific to an interdisciplinary model
• Lack of preparation for parents to fulfill expectations
• Attitude of collaboration from BOTH parents and professionals
• Unable to find “common ground”
