STANDARDIZED TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR PROFESSIONALS CONCERNING ICF AND VISUAL IMPAIRMENT (STEP-IVI)

Description / Topics

In the EC, the ICF has an increasing importance to the healthcare and rehabilitation system. ICF and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities utilize and identify the term "disability" in equal measure. Especially for people with visually impairment the utilization of ICF would be an advantage to assess the individual needs for health-care, rehabilitation and inclusion. An unique use of the ICF is therefore useful. But to achieve comparable results, a cooperation across professions, institutions and borders is inevitable. The use of the ICF is not easy: Working with more than 1440 classifications and add. qualifiers for each item, makes the utilization of ICF especially for professionals who never used similar systems, quite difficult. This project aims to qualify professionals in the field of education and training for vision impaired people in the appropriate utilization of the ICF. Core product will be a standardized and modular "blended-learning" course for those professionals. Purpose of this course is to introduce professionals, working in the education and rehabilitation field of people with vision impairment, into the appropriate use of the ICF according to the special requirements of this target group. This course will implement the "best practice" results of the partner Dutch Royal Visio which is successfully using ICF during the last years for people with visual impairment and the results of the ICF-ProVIP project carried out within a LEONARDO DA VINCI partnership.
