The professional relationship between behavior analysts and speech-language pathologists represents one of the most important and most frequently strained interprofessional dynamics in autism services. Both disciplines serve overlapping client populations, both address communication as a central treatment target, and both bring distinct theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and professional cultures to the therapeutic relationship.

This tension in recent years has intensified to a point where, in some circumstances, there is total obstruction of interprofessional education and practice. The focus of this presentation is to identify the severity of the current anti-collaborative landscape, identify barriers that prevent successful interprofessional education and practice, and discuss strategies to improve working relationships between these two professions. Learning Objectives: Identify at least three barriers that can interfere with BCBA/SLP Intercollaboration Describe the current landscape of BCBA/SLP Intercollaboration List at least three reasons why BCBA/SLP Intercollaboration is important when working with individuals with ASD. Describe strategies that when implemented could improve working relationships between SLPs and BCBAs
