Ep. 48 Effective Collaboration With Teachers

from Ideas at Play: An Occupational Therapy (OT) Podcast · host Michele Alaniz & Lacy Wright

Send us a Text or Voicemail Everyone agrees that collaboration with teachers matters in school-based OT practice, yet many occupational therapists struggle to make it work in real life. In this episode, we go beyond polite check-ins and quick info-sharing to unpack what effective interprofessional collaboration really looks like. We unpack a qualitative study and the key ingredients that make collaboration work: protected time and space, trust and power-sharing, and turning shared ideas into real classroom action. This conversation reframes collaboration as something you build together, not just talk about.We share our own thoughts in the Research Review and encourage you to read the original article too. Quigley, D., & Smith, M. (2022). Achieving effective interprofessional practice between speech and language therapists and teachers: An epistemological perspective. Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 38(2), 126–150. https://doi.org/10.1177/02656590211064544💡Want to hear more about Ideas at Work or get on our waitlist?  Send us an email to [email protected] informed, stay curious, and stay playful!✏️  Sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.📧  Email us a question or comment at [email protected]👉  Find us on Instagram @ideas.at.play
