Collaborating with Specialists and Families
Grand Canyon University: GCU SPD 531
, After reviewing the Multidisciplinary EvaluationTeam (MET) Case Study for 1st grade
student, Scott, who is 6 years old, Scott will need a MET team set up of a body of specialists
who will collaborate to develop a plan that is best suited to meet Scott’s individual needs. There
