In this engaging session, Dr. Kim Farinella, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Dr. Michael Woodward, PhD, NCSP, will show you how interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) can make a real difference for students with complex needs and for the teams who support them. You’ll see how creating a culture of collaboration between special educators and classroom teachers leads to better outcomes, less redundancy, and a more supportive work environment.
Drawing from her experience as a school-based SLP and national presenter, Dr. Farinella will walk you through the core IPCP skills you need and how to put them into action in your school. Dr. Woodward will share strategies from his work as a school psychologist that make collaboration smoother, more efficient, and more effective for every member of the team.
Through real case examples, you’ll see how IPCP improves diagnostic accuracy, prevents common biases in eligibility decisions, and streamlines support for students with multiple needs, including those related to ADHD, ASD, developmental delay, and dyslexia. You’ll also hear practical tips for shared assessments, collaborative treatment planning, and writing goals everyone can get behind.
You’ll walk away with ready-to-use strategies for making IPCP work in the real world, even when time, staffing, or resources are tight. Plus, you’ll learn how this approach not only benefits students but also increases job satisfaction by helping everyone share the workload and the wins.
