Let’s be real—“collaboration” gets tossed around like confetti in this field, but what does it actually look like when the rubber meets the road? In this episode, Sean and Michael break down the fine line between true interdisciplinary teamwork and a total trainwreck of crossed wires, clashing egos, and diluted goals.
We get into it:
Why BCBAs need to stop acting like lone wolves
What REAL coordination of care looks like (spoiler: it’s not just sending an email)
How to navigate schools, SLPs, OTs, and everyone in between—without selling out the science
And when collaboration turns into compromise that actually hurts the client
This one’s for the behavior analysts who are sick of the fluff and ready to build bridges without burning their ethics.
You’re either working together—or working against each other. No in-between.
