Abstract
The present study reports the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework, given by World Health Organisation, for the case of an 18-year-old girl with Childhood Apraxia of Speech secondary to neonatal encephalopathy. A motor programming impairment such as CAS is characterized by an array of functional deficits. The ICF framework enables a holistic approach towards the assessment and rehabilitation of all communication disorders, including CAS.
