Interprofessional collaborative practices for children with speech, language and communication needs in early childhood education and care: comparing Dutch and Norwegian perspectives

Figures & data

Figure 1. Part of the conceptual framework for IPCP of Stutsky and Spence Laschinger used in this study.

Figure 2. Conceptual model for the relationship between IPCP (independent variable) and perceived team effectiveness (PTE), moderated by personal relational skills, moderated by country (moderated moderation).
