Intervention Models 1 According to Stewart (n.d.), the portion of the video she was interested in was finding out why or why not families and service providers prefer the models interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. These services were used in early intervention, birth to age 3. The interdisciplinary model included all service specialists with the parents sitting down and developing goals. Once the goals are set, the specialists would come to the house and provide those services. Transdisciplinary model includes the specialists showing up at one time, everyone sits down and talks about the outcomes and goals. One person would be selected to be the representative for the whole team. The other members would coach this selected person in their specialty area and they would bring it back to the family to coach them as well. Stewart addressed the questions she had with both of these models, and she found pros and cons to each (Stewart, n.d.). Stewart (n.d.), discussed for or the interdisciplinary, the cons were: If you have a child with multiple needs and complex issues; it can be hard to schedule all of the specialists to come in at different times to provide their services. Another issue that some service members found was that families would use their therapy times to do little things around the house instead of interacting in the sessions. The pros that were found was that specialists found they were able to use their training that they have in their specialty area. This was especially helpful for families that had children with severe disabilities (Stewart, n.d.). The transdisciplinary model Stewart (n.d.) discussed the cons which there are huge turnover rate because specialists do not like the idea of learning other domains, they are not an expert at. This makes it hard on the team because they will have to retrain someone else to fit in for that person. There is also a legality of services, coaching is an expert that provides advice to another. Sometimes the team can be stuck with someone that just got out of school and is inexperienced; in turn this makes it difficult for that person to coach someone else. Another issue is that all systems haven’t changed to this model which makes this really hard to work with as well. Some of the pros are: the team works closer together than before. They all brainstorm together and there is support from the others. They grew as professionals as they learned the other domains while working in a cohesive team. Some like the idea of having just one representative that does all the domains rather than everyone having to go in. Families are more accountable in this form, as they are expected to play a role in the therapy. This helps being in their home language and they are able to focus on other goals that the family may have (Stewart, n.d.). I found that the newer model isn’t perfect and there is room for it to grow. I think that it is important that these specialists should have more training in each domain rather than just the coaching from a team member. The parents expect expertise in interventions and more education if they are involved in this.
