Introduction

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a common language which can be utilised by all health professionals. It also equips them with new knowledge on functioning and disability. The World Health Organization supports the use of the ICF in clinical practice by offering assessment and documentation tools that remind practitioners about all the domains of client participation. In this course, Patricia Saleeby discusses the use and benefits of the ICF in clinical practice across professions.
