Abstract:
This paper describes a university-based, maternal child health, interdisciplinary training project designed to assist health professionals in working with neurodevelopmentally at-risk children and their families. It discusses a role for social work educators and practitioners that brings to the table varied, conceptual questions that are intertwined with more traditional social work intervention in a postmodern approach to interdisciplinary teaming. A case example illustrates the integration of these two approaches and the inquiries that social work can initiate to facilitate "making space" both between the team and family and between members of the team in a dynamic, postmodern, interdisciplinary context.
