Traditional approaches between educational professionals have been used in the past
which makes it more common to find resistances than conflict between team members.
According to, (Cook & Friend, 2017) when compared to other professions (such as business,
law, and psychology), education has neither evolved a systemic means of considering conflict as
part of the work environment nor developed models for resolving it”. In the past, tasks were
assigned to the various providers and they were responsible for carrying out those tasks with
very little help from others. Due to the fact that individuals were isolated in their roles, conflict
was very rarely identified or addressed. This lead to resistance being more common in the work
environment. Even if they were not necessarily problem solving together changes in their roles

refusing to participate would be the Parker Ellis case study. Dana was unhappy with the
decisions and proceedings of the IEP meeting so instead of working with her fellow colleagues
to problem solve; she flat out refused to participate (McWilliams, n.d.) The more appropriate
response would have been to engage with her colleagues and express her concerns as they came
up. Relying on past practices is another symptom that may come up when working with others in
a team setting. It can be difficult to change the way a clinician practices, especially when they
have been doing it a certain way for many years. An example of this would be the transition from
a clinical based intervention to a family centered one. Although it has been proven that family
centered intervention is best practice for Early Intervention, clinicians may have been resistant to
change because of the many years of clinical base practices. Finally, colleagues may see
members of their team trying to displace responsibility. They may try to displace responsibility
onto the parents or other faculty members involved. The individual may make it seems as if
those individuals would never allow the change to be made in the first place so that is why it will
not happen.

unlikely that I will make the change. This is because I take a strong stance on my values and do
not faultier with them. For example, many facilities have the child come into the clinic and
administer therapy on site. I believe that the child should be in a setting that is most comfortable
to them, so I administer therapy in-home. I personally do not believe it is in the child’s best
interest to change settings to a clinic, therefore I would be resistant to the change. However, I
must always keep in mind that my decisions affect the family and child. There will be times
when something does not align with my personal philosophy or values. I can accomplish this
change by removing my emotional component from the equation. I have to put the families needs
and beliefs before my own so that I can support them in the ways they need me to. I can also
reach out to other team members who may be familiar with the circumstances so that I am as
