Abstract
The development of a child, especially a child with a disability, is conditional upon the initiation of rehabilitation measures immediately after the problem has been identified. The quality of the reaction is conditioned by the functioning of the therapeutic team. The main purpose of the research was the diagnosis of early support system for child development in Poland. The research was based on the model of the functioning of teams by Twardowski. 44 teams took part in the study. The results show that depending on the area of the study, specific to the model (multi, inter or trans-disciplinary) solutions are applied. Areas most closely related to the multidisciplinary model are: responsibility for the realization of the program, cooperation with other entities, cooperation with other entities and selection of team members' directives for functioning (functioning). Areas most closely related to the interdisciplinary model are: carrying out diagnosis, cooperation with parents' development of work program and means of communication within the team. Area most closely related to the transdisciplinary model is: content assumptions. Areas most closely related to inter and transdisciplinary are: development of work program and team development. Research allows diagnosing the condition and determining the direction of development of the teams.

Summary
Every child needs support in development, regardless of them being disabled or not. In order to formulate common for all partner countries directions of changes in systems of early childhood development support and early intervention, almost 30 years of experience of work and cooperation between therapists, parents and children have been taken into account. The most effective work is associated with reducing the asymmetry of the relations, understood as the primacy of the position in relations: child, a parent and a team of therapists. The quality of work is related to introducing a transdisciplinary model of cooperation in which both the child and the parent are the recipients, and active and equal links in a team who take part in providing the diagnosis, directions of interaction, development program, and monitoring development progress. Cooperation and appropriate management of both the team and the therapy process are taught [3,4,5]
