“…In delivering EI, providers should consider the unique developmental challenges and strengths of children and circumstances of their families if they are to operate in a manner consistent with family‐centred practice (FCP) (Tomasello, Manning & Dulmus, ). It is important to appreciate the potentially unique experiences of children with disabilities where their families also face challenging circumstances because of the growing prevalence of this group amongst those accessing EI (Nolan, Young, Herbert & Wilding, ). Furthermore, the addition of family complexities can pose risks for children's health and development (Johnson & Theberge, ).…”

“…The framework provides insights into why service integration/co‐ordination efforts may run into difficulty. By showing various approaches side by side, the framework acknowledges that there most likely will be a number of initiatives underway in a community or region (Nolan et al . 2005).…”

“…There will always be the need for planning, administrative, and service delivery linkages to be established with respect to different units – individuals, services provided by an organization, and services provided by a number of different organizations. A recent survey of service co‐ordination for children with complex healthcare needs indicated that two‐thirds of these children received multiple co‐ordination services from different sectors (Nolan et al . 2005).…”

This article clarifies the nature of 'service integration' and 'service co-ordination' and discusses how these aspects relate to the fundamental goal of providing co-ordinated care for children with disabilities and their families. Based on a review of the service delivery literatures in the fields of health, social services and rehabilitation, a framework is presented that outlines the scope of the co-ordination-related functions and activities encompassed in three common types of approaches to the delivery of co-ordinated care. These are a system/sector-based service integration approach, an agency-based service integration approach and a client/family-based service co-ordination approach. The functions outlined in the framework include aggregate-level planning of services (designed to map out the scope and plan for service provision in a community or geographical area), administrative functions (designed to ensure wise and equitable access to resources) and client-specific service delivery functions (designed to link clients/families to needed services). The framework is a tool that can be used to support policy making and decision making with respect to the design of efforts to provide co-ordinated care. It provides information about commonly used approaches and the essential elements of these approaches, which can be used in making choices about the scope and nature of an approach towards service integration/co-ordination.

“…The terms are used interchangeably, and often refer to different aims and different functions and activities causing difficulties in interpreting research findings to inform practice (King & Meyer, 2006) and policy (Harbin & Terry, 1991). To give an example of the complexities of service coordination for children with complex health care needs, a survey of service coordination revealed that two-thirds of these children received multiple coordination services from different sectors (Nolan et al, 2005). The reality means that services remain ill prepared to integrate their provision and continue to work in isolation.…”

This article reports on how integrated services can provide coordinated support for children with AD/HD and their families. The author reports on the effectiveness of a problem-based approach to interagency working by exploring the use of two models of good practice from education, health and social care to provide a framework for working across disciplines. It identifies how children with AD/HD could usefully inform professionals and parents about their experience of living with the condition and so influence the services they receive. Suggestions are made as to how the framework can be applied in practice with children and how the framework can be used to identify the effectiveness of support which in turn can inform further research and practice.
