Introduction

The World Health Organization developed a comprehensive framework called the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health - Children and Youth (ICF-CY) to provide a unified language describing the health of children. The ICF-CY was introduced as an extension of the broader ICF framework. It focuses on the unique aspects of child development and the functioning and participation of children and young people. This course introduces the components and application of the ICF-CY and walks you through a case study of a child with cerebral palsy.

Aims

This course aims to provide an overview of the ICF-CY for clinicians working with paediatric patients.
