ICF

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a framework developed by the World Health Organization to understand and describe health and disability. It provides a common language to discuss how health conditions impact people's lives, considering their physical, mental, and social wellbeing. The ICF emphasizes that everyone experiences disability differently, based on personal circumstances and environments. By focusing on functioning rather than just medical diagnoses, the ICF helps healthcare professionals, policymakers, and individuals support better health outcomes and promote inclusivity in society.
