Interdisciplinary Collaboration Administrator Checklist

Interdisciplinary collaboration means the different partners in a child's life, including early intervention, medical, education, and Deaf community groups, working as one coordinated team. Administrators use this checklist to build the systems that make that happen. It covers a shared program identity and consistent messaging so families hear the same guidance from everyone; formal written partnership agreements with clear roles and accountability; shared expectations for providers; and structured ways to bring family and Deaf-adult perspectives into planning and decisions. Use it to strengthen coordination across every partner.
