Children with complex needs are supported by professionals within a robust medical neighborhood.
Collaboration between parents, home-based nurses and therapists (SLP, OT, PT) is especially important.
This program presents and discuss some of the barriers to optimal collaboration, as well as strategies for overcoming those barriers to
enhance mutual understanding of goals, roles, responsibilities and priorities. Through this mutual understanding, a comprehensive

Reporting of Perceived Bias:
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants
may use their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities,
especially in the presence of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the education activity.
