About this Talk

This panel will explore the complex interplay between posture and participation in pediatric therapy, using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework as a guide. Discussions will focus on balancing interventions targeting body structures and functions with those promoting activity and participation, incorporating the 'F-words' into therapy planning, and considering long-term health and participation outcomes.
