About this course

Effective collaboration between Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs) is essential for delivering comprehensive, client-centered care. This podcast-style CEU explores the complementary roles of both disciplines and highlights how interdisciplinary teamwork can improve outcomes for individuals receiving services. Listeners will review current peer-reviewed research supporting collaboration, examine common barriers that interfere with coordinated care, and learn practical strategies for aligning behavioral and sensory-based interventions. Real-world examples will illustrate how joint goal setting, shared assessments, and consistent communication can enhance skill acquisition, regulation, and overall participation. This course emphasizes ethical considerations, scope of practice awareness, and actionable steps clinicians can implement immediately to strengthen collaboration across teams.
