International Classification of
Functioning, Disability, Health
ICF Classifications
and Codes
 Functioning and Disability
 Body Functions (b110-b899)
 Body Structures (s110-s899)
 Activities and Participation (d110-d999)
 Contextual and Personal Factors
 Environmental products/Technology,
support, services, attitudes (e110 to e599)
 Personal (not yet coded)
ICF Focus on Health
 Health is
Physical
Mental
Social well being
Overall quality of life
 Health increases capacity
to live a full life and
develops individuals
economically and socially.
WHO -- Need for ICF-CY
 Consequences of diseases/diagnosis were not
predictable in functioning and unidirectional.
 Different diagnosis but common communication
needs.
 Quality of life more dependent on multiple
factors, including social interaction, than on
body function and body structures only.
 Children and youth are developing i.e.
language acquisition.
C (Children) and Y (Youth)
 Bates in 1976 (Hyter, 2007) wrote,
Surely it has been true all along that the
only real “language acquisition device”
is the whole child growing up in a
social world. (p. 128)

What?
Activity/Participation with augmenting and
having alternative communication
How?
Environment includes technology, support,
services, systems, attitudes thus AAC
When?
Today and tomorrow
Where?
Across environments -- AAC opportunities and
barriers home, school, community
Why?
Quality of life improves with Participation

Bio-Psycho-Social Models
 Biology represented in Body Structures
 Psychological described in Body
Functions
 Social Activities and Participation
 Social Context/Environmental
Technology for AAC
 Social Context identify Personal Factors
Participation Matters
 Limited participation often is due to
cultural myths and negative attitudes
about competence.
 Society’s accumulated myths and fears
about disability are as handicapping as
are the physical limitation from actual
impairment. (Brennan, 2007)
Environmental Factors
Matter
 Products and technology (for
communication)--availability of AAC
 Natural environment and human made
changes
 Personal support and relationships
 Attitudes toward AAC
 Services, systems and policies in
physical environment
Social Model
Matters
 Each function in the child’s
cultural development appears
twice
1st on the social level and
later on the individual level
1st between people and
then inside the child.
(Vygotsky)
Personal Factors
Matter
 Age
 Gender
 Interests/Motivation/
preferences
 Family-beliefs
 Culture -- including
unique stories, selfconfidence, and
experience with
communication failure

ICF-CY Participation
in Social Interaction
 Interpret nonverbal communication
 I show “I like you, you are my friend”
Ask or “say it,” “give a hug”
 I protest
Say “no,” scream
 I show I don’t like a person
“Ignore them,” think they’re just curious;
“Want them to accept me for what I am, I
accept them for who they are”
ICF-CY Participation
in Sharing Information
 Interpret nonverbal communication
I show I understand when I “raise my
eyebrows”
Say I don’t know when I “raise my
eyebrows and hold them up.”
Show I know names of people, actions,
places when “I write, talk, read about”
ICF-CY Participation in
Expressing Unique Identity
 Interpret nonverbal communication
I may want to talk about
What I may choose to do in free time

Instruction: Goals
 Participation is goal
In Social interaction
In Sharing information
In Expressing unique identity
ICF-CY Making a Difference
Instruction for Communication
 Help communication partners learn to respond
 Choose topics that are age and gender appropriate,
i.e. peer activities and general education
curriculum
 Build on social engagement (peer assisted learning)
and personal motivation
 Engage in real time, place and purpose
(naturalistic environments)
 Instruct reading and writing with AAC for creating
messages.
Communication Partners Learn
to Respond to Nonverbal
 Social interaction
 Response to producing hug meaning “I like you”
 You do like me. I like you too. Think of all the
people you love
 Response to screaming meaning “leave me
alone”
 You told me “no.” So I’ll give you a little time and
come back later.
 Response to looking away “I don’t like that
person”
 I understand some of how you feel. Let’s figure out
what you don’t like. Where shall we begin?
Communication Partners Learn
to Respond to Nonverbal
 Sharing information
 Response to raising eyebrows to say I understand. You
raised your eyebrows so I know you understand. Let’s
move onto the next question.
 Response to raising eyebrows and holding them up to
say “I don’t understand.” You told me you did not
understand by raising your eyebrows and holding them,
shall I explain the question using other words?
 You just wrote about interesting people and places. I
love what you wrote. Where else can we find to hear
more about these?
Communication Partners Learn
to Respond to Nonverbal
 Expressing Unique Identity
 You just said “b” Do you want to talk
about your friend, Bertha. Was it
something that happened today? What
would you like to tell me about her?
 Your comment is so perceptive. You do
make such a difference to me too. You
once told me that if I was not your
daughter, you would suffer. You are right.
Instruction for
Communication with AAC
 Teach accessible low and high
technology on topics of interest with
different communication partners
 Anticipate as a team participation
