Growing Together: The Complexities and Rewards of Building a Multidisciplinary Behavioral Therapy Practice is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Growing Together: The Complexities and Rewards of Building a Multidisciplinary Behavioral Therapy Practice, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

This workshop will explore the complex process of developing a collaborative clinical environment where professionals from different training backgrounds—psychologists, speech-language pathologists, behaviorists, occupational therapists, social workers, and others—must work in close partnership. Doing so requires intentional culture-building and a deep respect for differing clinical perspectives. Despite the complexity, the benefits to clients and their families are profound. Children often receive support from a single clinician, yet benefit from the collective expertise of an entire team through regular case collaboration, integrated planning, and shared insight. Families experience smoother communication, better-coordinated care, and more meaningful outcomes. Participants will also learn about the business advantages of this model. When thoughtfully integrated, multidisciplinary practices naturally generate cross-referrals, reduce client attrition, and improve financial sustainability. Moreover, these environments foster professional growth and vibrancy. Clinicians stretch beyond their own discipline, learning from peers and expanding their ability to conceptualize cases more holistically. This session will offer practical insights for those considering or actively growing a multidisciplinary model, focusing on both the human and business elements that make these practices thrive.
