How the ICF-CY relates to Firefly by Leckey

Firefly by Leckey Webinar Series

World Health Organisation, 2007

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Young People (ICF-CY)

• Our VISION is to:

“Create a world where every child with special needs can enjoy a childhood filled with play, participation and possibilities.”

• At Firefly, we are unable to influence a child’s health condition or environment…

• …but we believe that Firefly products can influence body structures, activities and participation.

ICF & Firefly

Development of MAP

Firefly by Leckey Webinar Series

We believe the design and manufacture of our products can influence:

• Mobility (Activities)

• Ability (Body functions and structures)

• Participation

This is the Firefly MAP with the child and family firmly at the centre of everything we do.

MAP – Firefly definition

Mobility

A child being able to access their world and gain as much independence as possible

Ability

Improving physical, cognitive and social development

Participation

Being able to experience as many activities as possible

Using the UpseeTherapy Programme

Firefly by Leckey Webinar Series

1. Demonstrate the Upsee as a potential therapy tool

2. Suggest activities which may improve or maintain a child’s mobility, ability and participation

3. Encourage families to see possible benefits beyond mobility using the MAP Model (Leckey, 2015)

The Upsee Therapy Programme aims to:

• MAP Mobility Assessment and Review

• MAP Activity Programme

• MAP Ability Assessment

• Ability Activity Suggestions

• Participation Activity Suggestions

To note any improvement in function outside of Upsee use

• Parents and therapists love to see and hear about other people’s experiences in the Upsee

• We would love at least one of the following:

• Photos/scans of MAP Mobility Assessments

• Photos/videos demonstrating progress at each review

• Photos/scans of MAP Ability Assessment

• Photos/videos demonstrating activities you worked on

Sharing Progress
