Things you can use this week

Written for clinicians who read between sessions, not on a study weekend. Short, specific, and built from cases rather than from a textbook.

Interprofessional Collaboration Checklist

SLPs, BCBAs and special educators sharing a caseload

A team-meeting checklist that turns "we should collaborate more" into specific questions people can actually answer — on values, roles, jargon, and whether you are genuinely coordinating or just running parallel sessions.

Four sections — establishing values and ethics, clarifying roles and competencies, communication and teamwork, and integrated action — with a translation table for the terms each profession uses for the same thing (“communicative intent” and “verbal operant” being the classic pair).

Designed to be opened during a case review, not read beforehand.

From Play to Purpose

Any interventionist working with autistic learners

The six-phase rapport-building guide. How to move an autistic learner from free play to structured instruction by building trust first and fading in demands second — with the criteria for when you are allowed to advance.

Phase 1 establishes you as the source of good things. By Phase 6 there is structured learning. In between are four phases most programs skip, which is usually why the structured learning does not hold.

Three rules govern the whole sequence: advance only after three consecutive sessions with minimal disruptive behavior, never use physical force, and always build engagement from the learner’s own interests.
