The research project that led to the creation of the ICF Applications platform aims to foster a culture of work in the social, educational, and rehabilitative sectors, focused on the appropriateness and effectiveness of interventions, and grounded in evidence.
Too often, initiatives for vulnerable individuals are shaped by self-referential choices. It is therefore essential—consistent with current regulations—to move toward personalized objectives and interventions, supported by a rigorous system for evaluating outcomes, which provides objective feedback on the effectiveness of implemented actions.

In line with these goals, platform users can develop a Functioning Profile based on a core set of ICF items. This profile generates a range of indicators that reflect the person’s priority needs, which can then guide the design of targeted interventions and allow for the assessment of their outcomes over time.

These analyses are valuable for schools (including teaching teams, class councils, and GLOs) in planning educational interventions, as well as for multiprofessional educational, therapeutic, and rehabilitative teams (in geriatric care, mental health, addiction services, and specialized social services) to support the collaborative development of work plans. They are also essential for Multidisciplinary Evaluation Units in preparing the Functioning Profile, as required by current regulations.
