Characteristics of effective collaborations include equal contribution at the professional level. Collaboration is used to refer two activities involving contribution at a professional level (Koenig, 2006). Evidence-based practice improving services for individuals with communication disorders, within a teamwork setting and within clinical settings. Within both settings, research, literature, and conference settings, etc. the benefits will apply to both fields to enhance services to support clients. The benefits of collaboration between the ABA and SLP professionals are that they may create better therapeutic approaches and practices through their combined expertise. Collaboration also makes it possible to improve support in all intervention teams. Specifically, where there are problems which have occurred previously. For example, both ABA and SLP professionals, within their own experiences, have both spoken to families that struggle implementing treatment to their family member in their home. They did not know how to integrate the recommendations from the professional consultants. In collaboration between the two professionals there would be better communication to the family about the complexities of the needs of their family member with disabilities. There is a waterdrop ripple effect when one part of the team contributes. They are supporting each other and in turn could show reduction of services needed by either professional, or neither professional had to start from scratch on their services. When professionals collaborate, they share ideas with each other and can create integrated programs at parallel levels. This helps others make effective progress as well, because there is then published proof or disproof of methods they may or may not want to utilize. Therefore, ABA and SLP professionals in this article game recommendations such as how to share treatment data and how to share innovative teaching procedures, ranging from basic information to experience of successful professionals within the applied environment. There are also suggestions for reading and researching within the profession and an emphasis on sharing collaborative discoveries with each other by breaking it down into understandable data. Creating effective collaborative relationships calls for embracing each other’s strengths. Behavioral medicine is an interdisciplinary field. Producing research and sharing ideas they have developed in their field from its very beginning has shown the need for integrating psychology with biomedicine (Greenwald, 2015). Biomedical science and Behaviorism are composed of similar characteristics and procedures including observation - direct and instrumental, transforming contacts and remote observation. Particularly within direct observation, behavior science has an important role. Some challenges with collaboration between these two fields are present because they are very different disciplines. Where behavior science emphasizes contextualism, biology emphasizes mechanism. Biology, in other words, identifies the parts, and psychology identifies the relationship of the parts. All of their philosophies however stem from scientific discipline which both have a lot to gain from each other. Seeing each other’s lack may be helpful as collaboration is in its infancy. Many ABA therapists are integrating biomedical treatments and working in collaboration with medical providers, and vice versa. If this continues, contemporary public health may improve in its cost effectiveness in both behavioral and medical health care. Both psychology and biomedicine are ideal evidence-based scientific practices. The administration of these programs through collaboration then will likely make more progress, and reducing the experimental aspects, trial and error treatment packages of both types. Clinicians will make large contributions to the prevention and treatment of diseases in both categories (Greenwald, 2015).
