Course Description
Effective multidisciplinary care depends on more than technical expertise—it requires intentional, values-driven communication that fosters alignment and behavior change across diverse professionals. This CEU explores how Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) can enhance collaboration using principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Participants will learn to identify and articulate shared values across disciplines to create a foundation for cohesive teamwork. Building on this, the training will introduce ACT-based strategies to support committed action toward collaborative goals, even in the presence of competing priorities or systemic barriers. Finally, attendees will develop practical MI skills to guide conversations, reduce resistance, and influence meaningful change among team members, caregivers, and other stakeholders. This session emphasizes real-world application, equipping BCBAs with flexible, evidence-informed communication tools to improve outcomes in multidisciplinary settings.
Learning Objectives
- Identify shared values across multidisciplinary team members to support collaborative care.
- Apply core ACT processes (e.g., values clarification, committed action) to promote alignment and follow-through in team settings.
- Use key Motivational Interviewing strategies (e.g., open-ended questions, reflective listening) to facilitate behavior change and reduce resistance in others.
