Effective Collaboration Strategies for Interdisciplinary Teams: Tales from a BCBA
None of us are an island unto ourselves, and that is never more apparent than when we arrive to team meetings only to find conflict. But when we begin to evaluate our goals, we often find we all have the same ultimate outcome; to provide the best possible care for the folks we collectively serve. Where does this leave us and how do we move forward? In this talk, Dr. Shane T. Spiker will share some strategies and insights that may help to improve our collaboration and support the goals of the folks in our care.
