#293: Providing SLP, OT and ABA Under One Roof with Colleen Lama

What happens when collaboration is built into a practice from the very beginning? The results can be powerful for clinicians, families, and most importantly, the children we serve.I love hearing how different professionals find their path, and Colleen Lama's story is such a great reminder that unexpected career moments can lead to something even better. As both a speech-language pathologist and BCBA, she shares how becoming dual certified helped her better support autistic learners and inspired her to create a practice where speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA truly work together. We also talk about the realities of growing a multidisciplinary practice, from navigating insurance challenges to building a team that values collaboration and family-centered care. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to provide coordinated services under one roof, I think you'll find plenty of practical insights and encouragement here.#autism #speechtherapyWhat’s Inside:Why Colleen became both an SLP and BCBA, and how that shaped her careerThe benefits of offering speech, OT, and ABA in one collaborative practiceChallenges that come with multidisciplinary care and how strong communication keeps teams alignedHow the ABA Speech Connection supports ongoing learning for SLPs, BCBAs, and RBTsMentioned In This Episode:Lama Pediatric TherapySelective Mutism, Anxiety and Communication AAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.
