"A second type of team is also one composed solely of social workers, but they come from a variety of agencies within the community.

"The client Timmy, age 3, has severe cerebral palsy, a disability resulting from damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth resulting in problems with muscular coordination and speech... After Timmy is referred for assessment, extensive testing is performed by speech, occupational, and physical therapists. A physician conducts a thorough physical examination and orders relevant tests. Sometimes, a geneticist is involved to establish the etiology of the disorder. However, Timmy experienced oxygen deprivation at birth due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck. Because the etiology of the disability has been established, the program director, a physician, deter-mines that a genetic assessment is unnecessary. A psychologist conducts perceptual and ability testing. Finally, a social worker carries out a family assessment.All evaluators subsequently attend the treatment conference. This group cannot be considered a team, because it does not work together on a regular basis" (Krist-Ashman et al.,).
