In this episode of First Bite, Michelle Dawson, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-S, FNAP, is joined by Mary Mitchell, PhD, CCC-SLP to explore the many ways collaboration can look in practice and define what true shared-creation collaboration involves for the school-based SLP. Michelle and Mary discuss how the SLP’s role shifts across settings, why meaningful collaboration goes far beyond quick conversations or shared paperwork, and how intentional teamwork can help create stronger support systems for students. They share ideas for building authentic partnerships with classroom teachers, navigating common collaboration challenges, and using evidence-based resources to strengthen collaborative practice in schools.

*Correction Note: Mary would like to acknowledge and correct her use of the terminology “houseless” and “transitioning” at the end of the episode. She recognizes that language which affirms every person’s humanity and dignity, such as “families experiencing unstable housing situations,” should have been used instead. She expresses gratitude for allowing the space to correct this mistake.*
