Transdisciplinary Practice for Navigating Communication-Verbal Behavior

Behavior and communication are two aspects of development that are closely associated. Often the roles of speech-language pathologist and behavior specialist overlap. The goal of this presentation is to outline how speech-language pathologists and behavior analyst’s responsibilities align with a focus on collaborative practices. An autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires transdisciplinary practice to support individuals to succeed across settings, from home to school, and into their communities. This presentation will highlight the benefits of a transdisciplinary team approach to intervention.
