Managing the neurodisability in neurometabolic disorders under the International Classification of Functioning (ICF), Disability and Health
Biju Hameed
The management of neurometabolic disorders and their associated neurodisability in limited resource settings can be challenging due to the lack of resources, expertise, and infrastructure. However, a goal-oriented approach can help guide the management of these conditions and optimize outcomes. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for the assessment and management of disability in individuals with neurometabolic disorders. The ICF framework includes three domains: body functions and structures, activities and participation, and environmental factors. Approaches using the ICF framework can help guide a comprehensive assessment and management of neurodisability in individuals with neurometabolic disorders. By addressing the specific impairments, limitations, and barriers associated with these disorders, the ICF framework can help improve functional outcomes, optimize participation, and enhance quality of life for individuals. Based on the specific goals and assessments, the multidisciplinary team can develop a tailored management plan that includes targeted interventions, such as medication, specialized diets, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or assistive devices. The plan should also address any environmental barriers or limitations that may affect the individual's participation and functional outcomes. The proposed talk would address these concepts using exemplar cases.
