Principle-11

Interdisciplinary and interagency collaboration and coordination of services are essential. The needs of individual clients are so diverse, encompassing all problems that one might expect to encounter in human affairs, that a variety of services is necessary. Comprehensive rehabilitation, therefore, requires the effort of many professions and close working relations among the various kinds of rehabilitation agencies. There is the persistent danger that the pressure to meet agency and professional needs most efficiently and conveniently will become the principal basis for coordinating services. To guard against this danger a clear and explicit focus on most effectively meeting client need is required. Because of the complexities in the system of services, the client needs a specified person to serve as a "coordinator" or "advocate" in providing information and otherwise acting on his or her behalf. Such a person may come from self-help group or any of the helping disciplines as appropriate, rather than routinely from a single profession.
