This video captures a powerful interprofessional collaborative session between an occupational therapist and a speech therapist, working together to support a young boy with cerebral palsy in the Eersterust community, South Africa, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joined by the child’s grandmother and aunt, the session highlights the importance of teamwork, communication, and shared decision-making in healthcare. The video demonstrates how collaboration among health professionals — with active involvement from caregivers — leads to more holistic and effective care.

Key themes include:

✔️ Interprofessional collaboration for optimal outcomes

✔️ Patient- and family-centered care

✔️ The essential role of caregivers in the healthcare team

✔️ Clear, respectful communication between professionals and families

This video serves as a real-world example of how effective interprofessional practice transforms lives, even in resource-limited settings.
