Behavior analysts frequently teach perspective-taking skills to their clients, yet the application of perspective taking in professional practice, particularly in multidisciplinary collaboration, receives comparatively little attention. For BCBAs who work alongside speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, educators, psychologists, and other professionals serving individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities, the ability to understand and appreciate different theoretical perspectives and intervention strategies is not merely a professional nicety.

Join Free →Board Certified Behavior Analysts and many other service providers (e.g., Speech Pathologists, Educators, Occupational Therapists) provide treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other disabilities. Differences in theoretical perspectives and intervention strategies are evident and provide an insight into differing intervention models. Collaboration bias between service providers exists and contributes to conflict and stress in the workplace. We often teach perspective taking skills to our clients; however, perspective taking is often overlooked in the workplace. Come identify benefits and barriers to perspective taking and learn how to recognize your own collaboration blind spots. Finally, learn strategies to become a better collaborator and support client outcomes through interprofessional practice. Learning outcomes: Identify what benefits perspective taking in the workplace can produce. Identify how different theories of language development contribute to different perspectives surrounding intervention. Define collaboration blind spots and how they contribute to collaboration bias. Describe steps to collaborative team building and perspective taking in the workplace
