Classifying Self-Care Activities of Children and Youths with Disabilities

The classification of functioning and disabilities in children and youths is an important task that informs healthcare. The ICF-CY (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health in Children and Youth) provides a standard framework for such classification. Occupational therapists use the ICF-CY in conjunction with observations of the routine activities performed by a child (such as eating, toileting, washing) to determine a suitable diagnostic group. This paper presents a method for assisting occupational therapists and others in this task using machine learning. The method is studied experimentally using a publicly available dataset of self-care activities.
