The Relevance of Theories and Models of Collaboration to Child Development Support Activities

Many stakeholders with different social and professional backgrounds can be involved in supporting a child's development. Experts note the importance of collaboration between all of these stakeholders in order to adequately support a child. Electronic systems have the potential to facilitate collaboration, and experts have suggested that models and theories relevant to collaboration can guide the design of collaborative systems. In this early exploratory work we investigate the relevance of various models and theories of collaboration and social interaction to the complex child development space.
