What are the effects of SLP-Teacher collaborations on student outcomes? This is a question I explored empirically in my doctoral studies under the mentorship of Dr. Barbara Ehren. Here are links to the projects I conducted on the topic. I’m happy to talk and share resources if this is an area of interest for you for research or practice.

 

I was honored to be invited to speak about lessons learned from my dissertation work on a series by Speech Therapy PD on Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. Here is the handout from that presentation.
