Implementing the International Classification of Functioning (ICF). Improving training and quality assurance processes of trans-sectoral support for persons with disability

Description

<< Objectives >>By introducing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO 2001) as a common or umbrella language into diverse sectors of support for Persons with Disability the quality of support and the participation of all involved professionals and beneficiaries is increased. Based on its umbrella-character over diverse sectors (medical, social, educational) ICF leads to a desigmatisation of PwD, as abilities rather than disabilities and coordinated goals are focused.<< Implementation >>Implementation focuses on: a) information of relevant stakeholders (mainly quality assurance managers) of service providers, b) providing a tool (concrete guide towards implementation of ICF - including sector specific aspects) and c) pilot guidance in order to start mainly top-down implementation strategies. By the provided tool institutions are enabled to define necessary frameworks (e.g. training needs for their staff) and project steps. Current legal frames support implementation of ICF.<< Results >>The main result consist of: a) information about ICF-implementation frames and requirement, b) sector specific aspects, c) the benefits of a common (international, transparent, destigmatizing and participation goal oriented) language, d) initiated implementation processes, and e) cooperation necessities between diverse sectors in the support of persons with disabilities. These results contribute to a more transparent, participative, efficient and coordinated delivery of services for PwD.
