Supporting individuals with profound autism requires more than excellence within a single field—it demands true collaboration across disciplines.
This presentation explores how interdisciplinary models bring together ABA, OT, SLP, PT, recreational therapy, education, and family systems to address complex needs in a coordinated, humane, and effective way. We will examine how shared goals, aligned values, and clear communication improve outcomes across communication, mobility, daily living, health, and quality of life.
Participants will learn:
Why single-discipline approaches often fall short for profound autism
How collaborative teams can reduce fragmentation and competing priorities
Practical strategies for aligning interventions across disciplines
Ways to center dignity, safety, and meaningful participation in everyday life
Whether you are a clinician, educator, administrator, or family advocate, this session challenges us to move beyond silos and toward integrated care that reflects the real lives of individuals with profound autism.
Because complex needs deserve collective solutions.
