Research article translated into lay language. The World Health Organization created a tool called the International Classification of Functioning-Children & Youth (ICF-CY) in 2007. This tool documents how well a child is able to function in terms of thinking, communication, mobility, social relationships and other major areas of functioning, as well as how much a child is able to participate in all areas of life. The ICF-CY is very long, since it covers all areas of development, and it is very difficult to score. Our interest is in how a child who cant talk very well communicates. We wanted to use the ICF-CY as the basis for a new tool that would describe how a child functions in terms of communicatingespecially if the child cant speak.
