“…These unique models include helping students to develop skills of collaboration through a hands‐on approach, with placements in a wide range of community agencies that serve children and in state agencies that set policy for education or mental health. Such placements allow students to develop collaborative skills in live settings and to gain policy experience firsthand (Parkin & Pate, 2007) and show great promise for the field. An additional resource for interdisciplinary clinical and leadership training at the graduate level are the 39 federally funded Leadership in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs located in universities across the United States (see www.aucd.org for locations).…”

The preschool assessment and diagnostic process offers many opportunities for collaboration across disciplines that can enrich the professional's understanding of the young child. This article addresses the advantages and complexities of such collaboration including opportunities for infusing collaboration across the multiple steps of assessment. Challenges commonly seen in a collaborative process, involving issues of time, decisions regarding diagnosis and recommended interventions, shared responsibilities, conflict across disciplines, and the need for administrative support, are explored. Special issues around creating meaningful partnerships with families are examined with attention to fully including families at whatever level they are comfortable. Finally, trends in consultation and collaboration that require the specialized expertise of preschool psychologists are described, along with promising models of training that incorporate collaboration, consultation, and policy work into the pre-service experience.
