Popis: The increased participation by parents of children with special needs in the development and implementation of educational and treatment programs has created opportunities for collaborative contacts among the involved professionals and the parents. Professionals can assume a collaborative consultation orientation that can serve to empower parents who in turn are likely to remain lifelong support systems for their children. In this article, we examine the parameters of collaborative consultation in conjunction with the need to develop a family orientation within the consultative process.
