Inter-disciplinary structure

Each member of the team has particular education and training needs

The team must have common-core understanding of the fundamental principles of AT and its provision

Professionals require cross-disciplinary education and experience

TELEMATE leads specialists from the TELEMATE leads specialists from the edges of their own knowledge into those edges of their own knowledge into those relevant areas of knowledge to be shared relevant areas of knowledge to be shared with the two other basic disciplines.with the two other basic disciplines.
