Abstract

Young children's social communication is key to their development and well-being. Naturalistic interventions can promote social communication in young children. Anyone concerned about children's social communication—families, professionals, planning teams, referral sources, funders, and policymakers—should understand the complementary roles of behavior analysts (BCBAs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs), who both utilize naturalistic interventions. Resistance to collaboration may be rooted in broader conversations about differing theories of language development. BCBAs and SLPs likely have similar overarching goals and expectations, but collaboration has been unfortunately rare, due to field-specific training and recommendations. BCBAs and SLPs who adopt a unified theory of practice will place children, families, and educators at the center of all decisions. An interdisciplinary model rooted in research about naturalistic interventions, collaboration, and equitable practices that incorporates feedback from providers and researchers in each field, could address challenges. This model highlights (a) understanding key tenets from each respective field, (b) developing interdisciplinary teams, (c) measuring and evaluating collaborative planning, and (d) promoting mutual respect and equity. Children benefit when professionals collaborate.
儿童沟通研究与实践:行为分析师与言语病理学家的合作角色
幼儿的社会交往是他们发展和幸福的关键。自然主义干预可以促进幼儿的社会交流。任何关心儿童社会沟通的人——家庭、专业人士、规划团队、转介来源、资助者和政策制定者——都应该理解行为分析师(BCBA)和言语语言病理学家(SLP)的互补作用,他们都使用自然主义干预。对合作的抵制可能源于关于不同语言发展理论的更广泛的对话。BCBA和SLP可能有类似的总体目标和期望,但不幸的是,由于具体领域的培训和建议,合作很少。采用统一实践理论的BCBA和SLP将把儿童、家庭和教育工作者置于所有决策的中心。一个植根于自然干预、合作和公平实践研究的跨学科模式,结合了每个领域的提供者和研究人员的反馈,可以应对挑战。该模型强调(a)理解每个领域的关键原则,(b)发展跨学科团队,(c)衡量和评估合作规划,以及(d)促进相互尊重和公平。专业人士合作,儿童受益。
