The purpose of this doctoral capstone experience was to effectively promote interdisciplinary collaboration between occupational therapy (OT) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) staff at the participating outpatient ABA center. A needs assessment revealed that staff felt the site could benefit from the creation of a standardized handwriting program to utilize with clients. The establishment and implementation of a handwriting program provided the media through which interdisciplinary collaboration occurred. Staff completed a pre- and post-implementation survey to rate their confidence and test their overall knowledge with scoring handwriting based on the established program criteria. An in-service was provided to all staff explaining the benefits of handwriting, how to utilize the data sheets and measuring tool to score and record clients' handwriting data, and OT's role in handwriting. The program was implemented with ten clients at the participating site through one-on-one consultation between the behavior technicians and the occupational therapy student. The results from the surveys showed that staff's knowledge and confidence improved with scoring and implementing handwriting programs. ABA staff expressed that the implementation of the handwriting program helped increase their confidence with handwriting, their understanding of OT, and their likelihood of collaborating with occupational therapists in the future.
