The ICF Assessment Sheet helps rehabilitation professionals to understand the client’s functioning and to identify the needs to be addressed in rehabilitation. It provides an overview of the client’s functioning state with input from both the client and the rehabilitation professional [31]. Considering the client’s own perspective of his/her functioning problems enriches the information provided by the rehabilitation professional and can later guide intervention planning [32]. See Table 22.1.

To facilitate the identification of intervention targets that are related to common goals identified by the client and the rehabilitation professional, an ICF Categorical Profile is generated. The ICF Categorical Profile serves as the central source of information for the rehabilitation team for intervention planning. It is generally set up using a suitable ICF Core Set in combination with a rating of the respective ICF categories using ICF qualifiers. ICF qualifiers are used to rate the extent of a problem for each ICF category by estimating the level of difficulties (“0” = no problem; “1” = mild problem; “2” = moderate problem; “3” = severe problem; “4” = complete problem). Environmental factors can be rated either as a barrier or as a facilitator, and in some cases an environmental factor can be rated as both a barrier and a facilitator [17], e.g., a spouse can be a facilitator by providing essential care but can also be a barrier if this care becomes too sheltering and prevents the person from becoming more independent. Although personal factors are not yet classified in the ICF, they have an influence on the client’s functioning in terms of the rehabilitation process [33, 34], including vocational rehabilitation [35]. Thus, personal factors are rated as having a positive, neutral, or negative influence on the client’s functioning. See Table 22.2.

To facilitate the coordination of interventions, roles, and resources within an inter-professional team in vocational rehabilitation, the ICF Intervention Table provides a comprehensive overview of all the intervention targets (represented by ICF categories), the interventions, and the corresponding rehabilitation professional who is assigned to address each intervention target. More than one rehabilitation professional may be assigned to one intervention target. The ICF Intervention Table also displays the expected goals (goal value) for each target. See Table 22.3.

The ICF Evaluation Display based on ICF Core Set categories illustrates the results of the assessment and reexamination of the client’s functioning. It displays long-term and short-term goals and reflects the extent of a problem the client is experiencing in a particular ICF category as rated with ICF qualifiers before (first value) and after intervention (final value). A goal value is defined, in order to determine whether a goal has been achieved following an intervention (see Tables 22.2, 22.3, and 22.4).
