TITLE: The Multidisciplinary Team in Schools: Preventing Blurred Lines and Knowing Your Scope

ABOUT THE TALK: There has been much debate recently about therapists crossing lines, encroaching on one another’s scope of practice, or simply not being clear about where those professional boundaries lie. Join our panel of OTs, Physiotherapists and Speech Therapists for an open and practical discussion on navigating scope of practice within a multidisciplinary team. Together we’ll explore where the lines are, why they matter, and how therapists can collaborate effectively while maintaining ethical and professional boundaries. 

PRESENTERS: Alison Bradfield (Physiotherapist), Hannah Human (Speech Therapist) Natalie Oliver (Occupational Therapist) and Priscila Rautenbach (Occupational Therapist)
