Co-treatment within school settings can prove to be a model that benefits students and therapists alike.
Frances Newman, OTR/L, and Joni Adams, M.A. CCC-SLP, have recently delved into the idea of co-treatment, exploring how it can improve and benefit treatments within speech and language therapy.
So, what exactly is co-treatment? Co-treatment sessions are when two therapists from different disciplines work together with a client (be they child or adult) in order to maximize therapeutic goals and progress.
The duo have detailed notonly how well co-treatment sessions work for their students, but also how they were able to support each other and learn from one another’s knowledge thanks to the process.
