## Report on collaboration with FDRG 

- Cassia Maria Buchalla
- Education Committee Meeting
- May, 2007

## The Functioning and Disability Reference Group 

- The FDRG was formally established in Tunis 2006, and a work program planned for the further development and implementation of ICF.
- There are 34 members, with representatives from all WHO regions.
- Project leaders, together with the two co-chairs, comprise a ‘secretariat’ of 9 people who have been in regular contact since Tunis.

## Projects

**1. Principles of use, coding rules and guidelines**** **
**2. ICF updates**** **
**3. ICF implications for ICD**
**4. Measurement and statistical use of ICF**
**5. Educational materials**** **
**6. Ethics and ICF**
**7. Environmental factors**
**8. Terminologies and ICF (FDRG-TG)**

## Project 5: Education Material 

- People engaged on:
- Cássia Maria Buchalla (task leader), Matilde Leonardi, Jerome Bickenbach, Catherine Sykes, Ros Madden,  Esther Nkandu (TBC),

## Project 5: Education Material

- The aim is to develop ‘a suite of simple and accessible products, to be available on the WHO website, which are suitable as
- an introduction to ICF
- an advanced course on ICF.
- The products would _introduce the ICF_, the _reasons for using it_ and indicate suitable _measurement and data capture tools_ (so it is close related to all others projects).

## Project 5

- _General introduction to ICF_: simple and accessible materials
- _Advanced course for ICF_: the variety of uses of ICF. This course would be to enhance understanding of functioning and disability.
- Coding with ICF at some stage (to be planned and timed with reference to project 1 Coding guidelines).
- Suitable materials for all strategic areas at some stage

## Steps

- Collect information from the Pilot Project **√**
- Characterize them   **√**
- Collect information from the owners
- Ask for and review the educational material available
- Get information from Project 1
- Draft a Core Curricula for the introductory course

## First step: Collect information from  the Pilot Project

- 25 questionnaire of education material
- Not all  of them are complete (in the work space)
- There are others known material missing
- Information available are presented
