Abstract
As the field of early childhood special education (ECSE) moves toward full inclusion, consultation services are increasingly necessary and supplied by ECSE itinerant consultants. However, educational consultation in ECSE has challenges that are different from consultation in kindergarten through 12th grade. This article examines the team components of organizational context, team structure, team processes, and team outcomes for ECSE. The article discusses the challenges of conducting meetings in a variety of contexts with varying levels of support for teamwork, consulting with large numbers of individuals with varying levels of training representing a variety of disciplines and agencies, and dealing with divergent opinions among team members regarding team processes and outcomes.
