In Behavior Analysis and Interprofessional Collaboration Across Applied Professionals, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

In recent years, an increasing body of research has examined IPC between behavior analysts (BAs) and allied professionals (APs), including speech-language pathologists, teachers, and occupational therapists. Findings from this literature highlight both the benefits of IPC and the challenges APs often encounter when collaborating with BAs. The importance of IPC is emphasized in the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, 2020), and advantages of collaborative practice in behavioral service delivery have been documented (e.g., Slim & Reuter-Yuill, 2021; Diena, 2025). This presentation will explore key challenges that complicate IPC involving BAs, propose recommendations for overcoming these barriers, and review preliminary research supporting these recommendations.
