In this episode we had the great pleasure of welcoming Dr. David Luterman, professor Emeritus from Emerson College, who has committed his career to educating speech pathologists and audiologists, teaching us how to embrace the emotional realm, create empowering client relationships, and practice self care.For us this conversation felt profound. It’s a topic that we have revisited throughout our careers and continues to evolve and change based on where we are in our lives and our ever changing professional experiences. We hope you walk away from this conversation with as much to think about and process as we did.This episode is offered for 1 ASHA CMH (equal to .1 ASHA CEU).

UPDATE: This episode was recorded and published with an error (@ timestamp 6:35). INTERprofessional collaboration is collaboration between different fields or professions (example: an SLP collaborating with a BCBA). INTRAprofessional collaboration is collaboration within one field (example: an SLPs collaborating with other SLPs). In our recording we swapped the two - blame it on first episode jitters!A BIG THANKS to our listener who brought this to our attention! You know who you are!!___Get .1 ASHA CEU hereWelcome to our first post! This podcast was a big one for us in so many ways! Since we are just a couple of nerds, who are also friends, and actually do spend an inordinate amount of time talking about “nerdy speech and language things” in our free time - the idea of being a bit more structured in our topics and recording our conversations for others to hear was an idea we threw around for a while. It became our brain baby. We were nervcited* about it. And now it is real.Why start our podcasting journey here? Collaborating with BCBAs has been an ongoing thread running through both of our careers in speech language pathology. BCBA/SLP relationships can be a polarizing topic on both sides of the office/school/clinic. We’ve personally had some great experiences, and some not so great ones. We both went through a post-graduate certificate program to become BCBAs (Kate took the exam and has the letters to prove it). We’ve both been challenged with difficult collaborative situations, and we’ve been on the sidelines to see the challenges experienced by our colleagues in their working relationships with others.So why collaborate in the first place? Well, to begin with it’s the ethical choice. Our ASHA code of ethics is long, but there are some clear points made as to why it is ethical to collaborate. Plus, the field of ABA sometimes gets a bad rep - BCBAs and the field of ABA in general can have a lot to offer. We have both found it to be a great compliment to our speech therapy practices. Unfortunately, sometimes collaborating is a hard road, for a variety of reasons, and most of us don’t receive any type of explicit training on this in graduate school. How do we navigate these relationships as a professional? Do we even have to? Is it worth all the potential hassle? In this podcast we will talk in depth about the why and the how of intraprofessional collaboration with BCBAs. Spoiler alert: We’ve both had the good fortune of some wonderful shared clinical experiences with BCBAs - and we really think it is an experience worth figuring out!Come join us, be our nerdy friend, listen, learn, and earn ASHA CMHs (other providers check with your credentialing organization to find out if our quiz and certificate of participation counts toward the professional development requirements for your license, email us with any questions!).*Nervcited - a word we are pretty sure we invented. It's that weird combination of simultaneously feeling nervous and excited about something.ASHA Professional Development hours are offered for this course (1 certification maintenance hour).
