Join Corinne Zmoos, MS, CCC-SLP, as she welcomes Rachel Peters, MS, BCBA, LBA, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about everyone’s favorite (or least favorite) topic — SLP and ABA collaboration for GLPs.
Rachel shares her personal and professional journey, from starting her career in behavior analysis and becoming a BCBA, to critically examining the history and current practices in her field. She opens up about how these reflections have shaped the therapist she is today, including her decision to pursue a PhD in developmental psychology. Along the way, she discusses the ways she has embraced and integrated feedback from the autistic community, reshaping her approach to both echolalia and GLP in ways that honor each family’s unique values.
Together, Corinne and Rachel dig into what effective collaboration can look like between SLPs and BCBAs, how to find common ground despite philosophical differences, and strategies for pushing back on misconceptions that can stand in the way of meaningful progress. It’s a candid, nuanced conversation designed to inspire more understanding, respect, and teamwork across disciplines, all in the service of supporting GLPs.
