Dr. Emily Kertcher will provide an overview on the interdependence of educators and allied health professionals, which she will follow with a discussion of how to communicate effectively across disciplines to achieve joint goals. Specialists in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology will also provide overviews of what occurs in each of their fields, including prominent principles of practice to facilitate future joint goal setting and intervention planning across disciplinary fields.

This seminar is appropriate for a wide range of professionals across education and the allied health sciences who may be at any point in their career.

There is ample free parking, snacks will be provided, and there will be time for questions, so please bring your questions on how to engage in a truly collaborative model in your current or future practice!
