AB Focused on supporting systems for preschool inclusion of children with ASD, the research is aimed at exploring the collaboration between different support providers within the supporting systems. The researcher adopted a qualitative paradigm, and collected data through interview and observation. Grounded theory approach was applied to analyze the qualitative data, and to develop theories that can further interpret the reality and offer new insights into the practice of collaboration. The interaction between different support providers forms a network within the support systems. The collaboration between support providers varies in term of ways of communication, frequencies of collaboration, content/ways of collaboration, and effectiveness of the collaboration. Different factors influenced the practice of collaboration.
