New Year, New Care Collab Goals

Care collaboration is an ethical requirement—and a practical lever for better client outcomes. This CEU gives behavior analysts a simple, repeatable workflow to make collaboration “automatic” instead of something that falls to the bottom of the list. We’ll cover how to prep caregivers, reduce response effort, and run brief, focused collaboration touchpoints across six common partners: pediatricians/diagnosticians, SLPs, OTs, schools/IEPs, mental health providers, and psychiatrists. Emphasis is placed on scope-of-practice boundaries, consent/ROI, caregiver inclusion, and sharing concise, decision-useful data (not 60-page plans) to tighten treatment alignment and reduce fragmented interventions.

1. 1Learning Objectives: By the end of this CEU, participants will be able to:
2. 2List 3 ethics-aligned practices that support effective care collaboration (e.g., ROI, scope boundaries, caregiver inclusion, transparent data sharing).
3. 3Use a caregiver prep checklist to reduce barriers (time, privacy concerns, language/culture) before a collaboration meeting.
4. 4Identify one high-impact data deliverable (e.g., one-page summary, targeted graphs, fidelity tracking) to share with each of the six partner types to improve coordination and outcomes.
