Abstract
The first part of the chapter deals with the key words identified in the language used by the (a) therapists, (b) teachers, and (c) doctors and examines the significance of these key words in their world. This chapter presents and seeks to reveal the conceptual meanings of these key words and to investigate the interdisciplinary team’s use of the words and the meanings that they attach to them. The key words are described in terms of: the paradigm level, the category level, the class level, and the cluster level. The second part presents what can be learned from the key words; it reveals that professionals who work in a special education school often experience situations of crisis and feelings of discontent. The cooperation of the students is the primary goal of the professionals, and they work hard to attain it. Professionals use five main ways to achieve the desired cooperation of their students, and between these worlds of content, there is a transferability sequence regarding the key words within the interdisciplinary discourse.
