What is it about?
This paper describes the final step of the creation of the first ICF-based tools - called ICF Core Sets- for children and youth with Cerebral Palsy. These novel open-access tools guide multidisciplinary teams to systematically consider a comprehensive approach when planning interventions for children and youth with CP. Key messages: focus on abilities, use a positive language, engage the child and the families when setting functional goals.
