Abstract
The collaboration between occupational therapists and teachers within the classroom is a
relatively new practice in South Africa and few literature sources can be found reporting on
studies in this regard specifically on descriptions of relevant models for such collaboration.
There is a need for a better understanding of how occupational therapists and teachers can work
collaboratively within a classroom approach, together address learners’ needs and so make the
curriculum accessible to all learners. According to South Africa’s key education policies, all
children can learn and need support. Inclusive education acknowledges the diversity of learners
and that each learner learns differently.
