6. Recreational Therapy and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health
Description
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) from the World Health Organization represents a major shift in healthcare. It looks at health, not from the perspective of disease, disorder, or injury, but from the perspective of how a person s health fits in with the rest of his or her life, the kinds of things the person does, and the environment the person lives in. This is what recreational therapists have been saying all along.
Recreational Therapy and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health was written to bring together the ideas that are already well understood in recreational therapy practice and the model of healthcare represented by the ICF. If recreational therapists take the time to understand and use the ICF, they will find it is an excellent tool for improving practice and demonstrating the importance of the work they do.
This book includes all of the codes in the 2016 version of the ICF. There is an overview of each of the ICF s four sections, Body Functions, Body Structure, Activities and Participation, and Environmental Factors, plus a description of Personal Factors. The purpose and scoring of each section are described with recreational therapy examples. Each chapter in the four sections is covered in more detail with a description of the code set, more detailed scoring examples, an assessment overview, and treatment directions. An evidence review demonstrates the efficacy of treating each set of codes.
For each code, the book provides the full text of the code, describes the code s relevance to recreational therapy practice, explains the assessment process and how to score the code, introduces the reader to code-related treatment directions and adaptations, and cross references the code to the other two books in this series (Recreational Therapy for Specific Diagnoses and Conditions and Recreational Therapy Basics, Techniques, and Interventions).
