Abstract

Collaboration is a key component of high-quality programs for all young children, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, this practice is often one of the most challenging aspects of early childhood special education. Effective collaboration practices among multiple stakeholders are needed to ensure positive outcomes. Processes of teaming and collaboration in Project DATA, an early intervention program designed to support preschoolers with ASD within school-based settings, are examined and discussed. The importance of collaboration is demonstrated through stories, lessons, and experiences of working with children and families affected by ASD. Guidelines for effective teaming and collaboration are provided.
