An interdisciplinary team approach--a case report.
A case study is presented as a means of demonstrating the advantage of an interdisciplinary approach. The paper familiarizes the reader with the contributions to be made by a team composed of an optometrist, speech pathologist/audiologist, psychologist, and educational diagnostician. Based on the authors' experiences, it would appear that the total team approach is a most beneficial way of assisting the child with a learning disability.
