Our Approach
The F-words emphasize your child's strengths, interests and your family's values. They remind us to focus on what children CAN do.
They highlight the importance of all the elements of a child's health and well-being, including social relationships and meaningful participation at home, in school, childcare and in the community.
Based on research & built on the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Framework. www.canchild.ca/f-words
