Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM)

The Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) is an assessment tool used to evaluate the functional abilities of children with disabilities or illnesses. It measures a child's level of independence in daily activities like eating, dressing, and mobility. The WeeFIM uses a scoring system to reflect how much assistance a child needs, ranging from complete independence to full dependence on caregivers. This helps healthcare professionals, families, and educators understand a child's needs, track progress over time, and plan effective interventions to support their development and quality of life.
