Episode 171 - Professional Collaboration (SLP Edition) w/ Dr. Erin Michaud

Behavior analysts sure do know everything. I mean, that’s why everyone on every multidisciplinary team calls us all the time to solve all the problems. Wait, they don’t?!?! Perhaps it’s time to eat some humble pie and learn what real collaboration means. Starting off this (hopefully) multi-part series, we chat with BCBA/SLP/Unicorn Dr. Erin Michaud about what it means to be an SLP, best practices for collaborating on speech treatment, and what to buy your SLP for their birthday (well, we tackle two out of three).
