Abstract

Abstract Collaborative interprofessional education and practice are important goals for effective health care. The present study examined the simultaneous implementation of merged core techniques from three disciplines: Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Pathology, and Applied Behavior Analysis, in a program serving children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The intervention taught graduate student clinicians in an interprofessional clinic to execute a common set of procedures, simultaneously delivering them as part of their treatment sessions, while maintaining their home discipline's procedural integrity. Interprofessional coaching using remote communication technologies were implemented sequentially across participants in a multiple baseline design. This research demonstrated a model of interprofessional merge of therapy procedures for clinicians in practice under the supervision of licensed professionals and showed that changes in clinician's behavior were associated with improvements in child outcomes.
