Abstract
Educational programming for the handicapped child requires input from a variety of disciplines. However, team strategies to maximize communication among various disciplines have not been incorporated into preservice training programs. Special education teachers are not provided the instruction and experience needed to incorporate team skills into real-life situations. Research indicates the transdisciplinary team process provides optimum services for special education students. For the process to be successful, a teacher must be adequately prepared to function as an integral part of the team. This article is presented in support of such a model. A review of existing special education training models is presented along with a rationale for team training. The transdisciplinary process is described, and recommendations for implementation of a transdisciplinary training program as a step forward in the development of special education teacher preparation are given.Keywords
