Although music therapists may work with a variety of professionals in interdisciplinary teams, there is a lack of information about the specific nature of their work with speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Using an Internet-based tool, Board Certified Music Therapists (n = 1834, 1675 deliverable) were surveyed regarding their work with speech-language pathologists and experiences with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Specifically, participants were asked about: (a) demographics; (b) populations worked with professionally; (c) past and present work with speech-language pathologists; (d) goals addressed; (e) benefits and challenges encountered; and (f) work with AAC. Responses (N = 847) indicated the majority of participants (73.6%) had worked with SLPs at some point in various roles and in various settings. Fewer participants reported currently working with SLPs (42.8%), although 50.1% reported currently working with someone requiring some form of AAC. Participants reported a mean level of expertise with AAC of 3.9 on a scale of 1-7. Sharing knowledge was noted as a top benefit of working with SLPs, while scheduling was reported as the most frequent challenge. Other benefits and challenges as well as future research directions are discussed.
尽管音乐治疗师可能会在跨学科团队中与各种专业人员合作，但关于他们与言语语言病理学家（SLP）合作的具体性质，目前缺乏相关信息。通过一个基于互联网的工具，对注册音乐治疗师（n = 1834，可交付样本1675）进行了调查，了解他们与言语语言病理学家的合作情况以及他们在辅助和替代沟通（AAC）方面的经验。具体而言，参与者被问及：（a）人口统计学信息；（b）专业工作涉及的人群；（c）过去和现在与言语语言病理学家的合作；（d）所涉及的目标；（e）遇到的益处和挑战；以及（f）与AAC相关的工作。回复（N = 847）表明，大多数参与者（73.6%）在不同时期以不同角色在不同环境中与言语语言病理学家合作过。较少的参与者报告目前正在与言语语言病理学家合作（42.8%），尽管有50.1%的参与者报告目前正在与需要某种形式AAC的人合作。参与者报告在1 - 7的量表上，他们在AAC方面的专业水平平均为3.9。分享知识被认为是与言语语言病理学家合作的最大益处，而时间安排被报告为最常见的挑战。本文还讨论了其他益处、挑战以及未来的研究方向。
