Our yearly multi-disciplinary symposiums give OTs, PTs, and SLPs the opportunity to learn from multiple experts while gaining a clearer understanding of each profession’s role to support stronger team decision-making, promote collaboration and carryover across disciplines, and help teams stay aligned in their understanding and approach. For this reason, many school districts have found it beneficial to send their entire team of OT, PT, and SLP practitioners.
