A Transdisciplinary Model Analysis

Silverman, et al. (2010) A transdisciplinary model emphasizes collaboration, communication, cooperation and coordination among team members, including the family, in the process of assessment, program development and service delivery. Within this model, professionals are mutually committed to professional relationships, exchange roles, shared expertise and work across their disciplines to function as an effective team. This approach contrasts with the multi-disciplinary approach, where team members practice independently of each other in assessment, intervention and collaboration with families.
