This course is designed to introduce the ICF-CY framework with a focus on participation in community-based activities. The course will also discuss contextual factors that influence participation, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators to participation. The ICF provides a framework for discussing health and disability for children and youth (CY) with consideration for both the individual and populations with disabilities. This framework will serve as a foundation for future chapters examining instruments that measure participation and evaluating strategies team members use to successfully involve children and youth with disabilities in community-based activities.
