Abstract
Increasingly speech-language pathologists are considering the effects of a client's communication and/or swallowing disability on the client's day to day life. The activities and life situations that make up a person's everyday life are described in the Activities and Participation component of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This paper describes the Activities and Participation component of the ICF and how communication is currently represented in this component. This paper then explores the current debate between the concepts of activities and participation and how this can continue to inform and develop our understanding of communication activity and communication participation into the future.
