The requirements for family participation on multidisciplinary teams under PL 99-457 are presented, followed by a brief review of the literature on family participation on existing multidisciplinary teams. A review of the literature on teamwork informs the identification of factors that influence team functioning. The implications of these factors for family participation on the multidisciplinary team are discussed, and strategies for facilitating family participation are outlined.Keywords
