"Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, teachers, and nursery nurses welcome indisciplinary groups as they can then see the total child and the relationship of their speciality to those of the others in total function. On planning and using structured group session the different disciplines are enabled to share their knowledge with one other so that practical integrated group activities can be created. Different disciplines have then to clarify their main aims with each child and make certain they are understood by everyone in the planning of the programme and in its execution. It is not possible for each professional to convey all her expertise to the other different disciplines, but rather to learn how to discover the overlap of her particular discipline with others. In this way the overlap becomes a practical achievement and enriches the teamwork."
