Collaboration between stakeholders and participants is seen as "the key to successful inclusion of all students in a regular class" and "involves a nonhierarchical relationship in which all team members are seen as equal contributors, each adding his or her own expertise or experience to the problem-solving process" (Stainback and Stainback, 1990, p.
