The curriculum was designed to be administered by an interprofessional pair of instructors (one OT and one SLP faculty) and provided to an interprofessional cohort of OT and SLP graduate students across one academic year. There were three program outcomes that were targeted through five units of study each with unique learning objectives aligned with the program outcomes. Assessment procedures included ongoing assessment of coursework using instructor designed rubrics, surveys of interprofessional readiness and practice from research literature, and case study presentations at state conferences. Evaluation of outcomes utilized rubrics for assignments and presentations at state conferences, descriptive analyses of surveys, and coding of responses to open-ended questions. The PWTL curriculum provided an IPE experience that connected knowledge and skill gained from respective programs toward a common goal of supporting students with SLD in writing, the impact of which was demonstrated through increases on measures of readiness for interprofessional practice.
