Collaboration – A Must for SLPs Working on Language & Literacy with Diverse Learners​

Dr. Barbara J. Ehren, EdD, CCC-SLP, ASHA Fellow and Honoree, BCS-CL, IARLD Fellow

Dr. Barbara J. Ehren is an ASHA Board-Certified Specialist in Child Language, ASHA Fellow, and recipient of Honors of the Association. Currently she is President of Student Success Initiatives, Inc., an entity dedicated to development of materials and delivery of professional learning services on behalf of children and adolescents who struggle with language and literacy with a special focus on secondary students.

 In her many years of experience in public schools as an SLP, classroom teacher, and district administrator, she has served on numerous committees and editorial boards and is a frequent consultant to countries, states, school districts, and professional associations. She has authored many publications related to language/literacy and school practice.

The complexity of working with special education students from diverse backgrounds makes collaboration essential. While we all know this, finding the time, buy-in, and resources to do it well can be difficult. What we need is a plan that addresses personality conflicts, scheduling conflicts, and respect of boundaries, so that we can all pool our knowledge and expertise.  

Join Dr. Barbara Ehren as she emphasizes the importance of collaboration in education, drawing from her extensive experience in teaching, speech-language pathology, administration, and university instruction. She provides practical tips for effective collaboration with educational teams to support students from diverse backgrounds.
