Hi, I am not aware of substantially different interpretations of this terminology but would be glad to hear some different interpretations! In my opinion this section refers to the need for speech language pathologists to be able to interact with specialists from other disciplines and function effectively in team approaches. Where this is necessary in some stuttering treatments, it would allow the SLP to take into consideration the needs from other treatments that are going on, as well as provide the opportunity to make the other specialists aware of what is needed to improve a stuttering problem. I would assume that this refers to cases where there is more than one problem going on at the same time while treatments need to be coordinated. I am not sure if this section refers to the cooperation between different types of specialists who simultaneously work on the same stuttering problem? That would be a multidisciplinary cooperation I haven’t heard of before although it could follow the same team approach. I hope this helps.
