Intended for use by local Head Start programs, the manual is designed to facilitate and improve the integration of components in the delivery of services to handicapped children and their families. The document is divided into four units, each designed for use as a 1 1/2-hour staff session. Unit I focuses on the issues of defining and clarifying job responsibilities and on recognizing some of the elements of conflict within and between various roles. Unit II gives ways of achieving coordination with other components by studying the elements of teamwork design, understanding the tasks of responsibility in each component, identifying potential areas for coordination, and identifying specific activities for achieving coordination on tasks. Described in Unit III on interstaff communications and interactions are exercises to develop greater group participation. A final unit provides information on the utilization of a staff session to plan and coordinate services to the handicapped child and his family and includes suggested procedures and role of the leader in conducting the meeting, case material, and useful planning forms.
