American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Ad Hoc Committee on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
Last week I was invited to be one of two international members on the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association Ad Hoc Committee on the International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The committee
comprises eight members and is charged with applying the ICF framework to goal
setting and outcomes measurement, and helping ASHA members focus on function by
advising, providing input, reviewing, and promoting the products and activities.
I am honoured to have been invited and am looking forward to undertaking this important
international role during 2014 and 2015.
