Abstract:
Objective: To present the functional status of a child with 16p13.11 microduplication syndrome by evaluating it under the International Classification of the World Health Organization's International Framework for Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Case Description: An 11-year-old girl with 16p13.11 microduplication syndrome was assessed using the tools classified according to ICF for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) categories to evaluate body function, activity participation, and environmental factors. There was a wide range of problems, from body functions to activity participation and environmental factors. Besides these problems, there were social and cognitive disorders as well. Conclusion: Physical and cognitive problems in body function and activity together constitute great barriers to participation in daily life.Keywords:

This paper illustrates that Stephen Alumenda represents the girl-child in a positive way in four of his children’s books. The girl-child is portrayed as active, assertive, wise and independent. Alumenda satirises the patriarchal belief system that discriminates against and demeans the girl-child in society. Alumenda’s girl-child emerges dignified, proving that girls can do what boys do equally well if given the same opportunities. Through carefully crafted plots involving Marita, Tambudzai and Thandiwe, the author demonstrates that children’s literature is an indispensable medium which can be used to empower the girl-child.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) utilizes domains of body functions and structures, activities and participation, as well as environmental and personal factors to fully encapsulate the concepts of health and disability. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health provides a rich and holistic understanding of functioning that is particularly valuable in the setting of childhood disability and rehabilitation. With applicability that enhances a nuanced understanding of each child within their family, school, and community, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health also ensures facile and meaningful communication between professionals. Use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health promotes improved treatment plans for individual children and for larger programmatic decisions. This article demonstrates how the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health has reinvented the language and understanding of childhood disability and rehabilitation.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), provides a framework for the description of health and health-related states and offers a biopsychosocial model of disability. The ICF was introduced by the World Health Organization in 1999 as a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties posed by its predecessor, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The ICF lists body functions and structure, and activity and participation. The relationship between impairment, activity, and participation is not linear, and can be further moderated by contextual factors, including personal and environmental factors. There are a wide range of potential applications of the ICF.It has been adopted most widely within rehabilitation services to describe individual functioning, but can also be used at a service and national policy level to describe, monitor, and evaluate different activities.This chapter outlines the use of the ICF, considers its strengths, and highlights its function in a range of settings.

The Israeli author Nava Semel, one of the first to write about the influence of the Holocaust's trauma on the members of the second generation, asserted that the narrative, integrative, and coherent memory does not have the power to carry the burden of the memory of trauma, which is often a silent memory. Semel points to an alternative –Emotional Memory – "which is beyond the facts and the events themselves". In her book And the Rat Laughed (2001), she indicates the main realm through which the silent memory permeates the second and third generations and is transformed into emotional Postmemory: the work of art. The intense emotional-physical impressions that are at the heart of the trauma, transcend the bounds of imagination and understanding and therefore cannot be condensed into the recognized language and accepted representation. In the aesthetic-fictional realm, the traumatic memory translates into Semiotic-Poetic language that dismantles the organized, arranged, and disciplinary structure of the symbolic language, revealing the emotional-physical core of the trauma, and giving the silent memory a resounding voice that is engraved in future generations.
