The neurological consequences of an acquired brain injury (ABI), of traumatic or nontraumatic origin, are caused by an alteration of neuronal activity that compromises physical integrity or function of one or more areas of the brain. Impairments resulting from an ABI often affect cognitive function, as well as language, memory, attention, and information processing faculties, leading to partial or total disability that is likely to prevent people's functional and psychosocial recovery even in the long term.

I primi due decenni di vita sono caratterizzati da una rapida crescita e da cambiamenti significativi nello sviluppo fisico, sociale e psicologico. La Classificazione Internazionale del Funzionamento, della Disabilità e della Salute - Versione per bambini e adolescenti (ICF-CY) fornisce delle precise descrizioni dello stato di salute di bambini e adolescenti. Nell'ICF-CY vengono classificate funzioni e strutture corporee, attività e partecipazione e vari fattori ambientali che limitano o facilitano il funzionamento di bambini e adolescenti nelle varie situazioni di vita. L'ICF-CY offre quindi un linguaggio comune e standardizzato per descrivere e misurare la salute e la disabilità fino al diciottesimo anno di vita. Questo sistema di classificazione aiuterà clinici, insegnanti, ricercatori, amministratori, responsabili politici e genitori nell'identificare i bisogni correlati alla salute, allo sviluppo e all'istruzione dei bambini e degli adolescenti.
Dit boek bevat de Nederlandse vertaling van de "International Classification of Functioning, Disablility and Health for Children and Youth" (ICF-CY). De ICF-CY is afgeleid van en volledig in overeenstemming met de "International Classification onf Functioning, Disability and Health" (ICF) (WHO, 2001 Nederlandse vertaling WHO-FIC CC, 2002,2007). Als zodanig houdt deze een nadere detaillering in voor toepassing van de ICF ter beschrijving van kenmerken van kinderen en jongeren tot de leeftijd van 18 jaar. De oorspronkelijke inleiding en bijlagen van de ICF zijn onveranderd in dit boek opgenomen.De ICF-CY is als afgeleide classificatie ontwikkeld door de "structuur en categorieën van de oorspronkelijke classificatie onveranderd te laten en aanvullende details toe te voegen" (WHO-FIC, 2004, pagina 5). De ICF-CY is gebaseerd op de richtlijnen van bijlage 8 van de ICF en stemt daardoor overeen met de organisatie en structuur van de oorspronkelijke classificatie.
