Abstract
Collaboration between people from different professional groups is never easy, especially when they are employed by two different statutory services. In a study of teachers and speech and language therapists (Wright, 1994), the benefits of working collaboratively could be cate gorized as altruistic, personal or professional. Reciprocity between collaborating dyads was much more common around the acquisition of new knowledge, or cognitive gain, as a result of working together than of any other factor. This suggests that, whether people are conscious of it or not, collaboration can produce an important exchange of information. This has implications for professional education as well as for service delivery.
