  • Title: Developing the ICF-CY for AAC profile and code set for children who rely on AAC.
    Author: Rowland C, Fried-Oken M, Steiner SA, Lollar D, Phelps R, Simeonsson RJ, Granlund M.
    Journal: Augment Altern Commun; 2012 Mar; 28(1):21-32. PubMed ID: 22364535.
    Abstract:
    We describe the ICF-CY for AAC Profile, a tool to integrate information about the multiple factors affecting communication skill development and use in school-aged children with complex communication needs. The Profile uses the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health - Children & Youth Version ( WHO, 2007 ) as its framework. We propose that the ICF-CY for AAC Profile constitutes a code set for AAC users and discuss the iterative process of code-set development. The Profile is one component of a proposed process to guide the development of educational goals for children in Grades kindergarten-12 who currently or potentially rely on AAC.
