Journal of Early Intervention, v23 n2 p106-15 Spr 2000
This study examined professional comfort of 84 early intervention professionals in providing consultation about children with varying types, severity levels, and combinations of disabilities. Analysis suggested that more discomfort was reported if the child had severe disabilities or difficulties in communication and behavior. Additional training predicted professional comfort in providing consultation. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
