"Background/Context2 major interconnected initiatives in the field of persons with disabilites (PwD) - the UN-Convention on the Rights of PwD (1986) and the International Classification of Functionning, Disabilty and Health (2002) (CY= children/youth version) focus on the full participation of PwD, on the necessity of inclusive settings and on a common language for professionals in order to describe limitations, strengths and facilitators for PwD. Both iniatives focuse on better chances for disadvantaged target groups and decrease inequality in EU28. Most of EU28 parliaments ratified the UN-convention, in most of national political disability strategies in EU28 the usage of ICF-(CY) is foreseen or even defined as one supportive factor towards an increase of quality of life for PwD: reducing inequality, facilitating full particpation by using a common language between professionals and the , assessment and demographic data collection, increase of service quality and efficiency). However despite high political will in most of EU28 the transectorial implementation of ICF(CY) can be assessed as challengeing, as trainings and available tools are frequently assessed as difficult to handle. Therefore a major gap between political will and concrete implementation of ICF (CY) can be observered, due to missing on-the-job training, and usable Tools.Within the specific field of and Early Childhood Intervention and Social Pediatry (children and adolescents 0-18a with up to 6% of children assessed as disabled or at risk in EU28) this lack of implementation also decreases necessary exchange processes between the relevant sectors of medicine, education, labour market etc. ObjectivesICF-CY Med-Use 1) increases the usage of ICF-CY by tansfering electronc tools into clinical practice and combining them with on the job-training (peer-to-peer learning). 2) transfers training curricula into EU strategies (learning outcome, EQF) by blended learning possibilities and makes trainings comparable (trainer certification)3) integrates formal and informal (on-the job-learning by training passports)Profile of participantsThe consortium consists of multisectorial (medicial, educational, roof organisations, training) and mutligeographical partners (DE, AT, TR, UK, IT, MK). Partners contribute specific expertise: curricula and training (DE), ICT (AT), transition (AT), best practice (IT), research (UK), strategic implementation (MK, TR).Description of activitiesThe partnership transfered finding from previous LLL projects (www.icf-training.eu, www.ebiff.org) into the specific field of Social Pediatry (143 SPZ in DE), transfered roof-organisation training curricula (DE) into EU learning outcome-models and online training platforms, initiated trainer certification (based on online self-assessments) and iniatiated the usage of individual training portfolio (to assess furher training needs of users). Beside 6 consortium meetings national multiplier seminars are organised to increase knowledge and skills concerning ICF.Results1) ""ICF-CY practice-translator"": Current static icf-cy lists (1400 items) were transfered towards usable forms (easy usability to be transfered into daily clinical practice, including ""context-search-functions, local community of practice tools)2) ICF-CY training platform: Transfer of existing training curricula (e.g. VIFF) into EU learning outcome frames,availablility of online blended learning environments. Certification of trainers to ensure comparability in cooperaton with national bodies. Roof partner in DE are involved in curricula3) ICF-CY online training passport in terms of online assessment based on learning outcomes, EQF-levels to assess formal and informal learning in the field or on the job.Impact: ICF-CY Med-USE - based on ""on-the job learning"" in the field of prevention of disability increased the quality of services introducing a common language and common assessment criteria. Relevant exchange processes between medical field, education and transition into labour market for disadvantagded groups were initatiated and therefore the chances of vulnerable Groups were increased.Long term benefitEspecially the roof partners in DE (representing the relevant systems Social Pediatry and Early Childhood Intervention), strong political will in MK and legal requirements in TR and AT contributed to sustainability (clinical usage, better exchange towards transition). Both consortium partner in DE represent certification bodies focusing on longterm training and implementation (in cooperation with WHO). A common language increased the understanding and compliance of PwD and their families and quality of life of disadvantaged groups (including employability due to better information exchange between sectors) were focused on."
