Listen Later

The OT Corner with Mrs. K podcast is celebrating its one year anniversary! It has been quite a year, and I am amazed at the reach of this podcast, spanning across five countries! This endeavor has made me a better therapist for sure. It is amazing the professionals who reached out to me over the past year, and I appreciate their guest appearances on this show. I would also like to thank everyone out here listening to my content for your support. 

Today, my very first guest on The OT Corner with Mrs. K, Robert Serianni, joins me on this one year anniversary to discuss the benefits of an interdisciplinary collaborative classroom in the school setting. Bob is the Department Chair and Program Director of the Speech Language Pathology Program at Salus University in Philadelphia, PA. I always enjoy discussing ideas with Bob, and he brings some excellent points to this very relevant conversation.

I have included links to Salus University and Bob’s faculty page. I also mentioned in this episode several articles to read and those links are included below. Thank you for listening, and don’t forget to subscribe to the show.
