Abstract
The accepted approach in medicine today is a biopsychosocial approach. A commonly used biopsychosocial model of disability that has been endorsed by the World Health Organization is the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The ICF, includes five components – body function and structures (the actual anatomy and physiology/psychology of the human body), activity (the execution of a task or action by an individual), participation (involvement in a life situation), personal factors (e.g., race, gender, age, educational level, coping styles), and environmental factors (factors that are not within the person's control). When it comes to children, the environmental factor includes the family as the main factor [11]. Accordingly, the ICF conceptualizes a person's level of functioning as a dynamic interaction between her or his health conditions, personal, and environmental factors.
