Abstract

This paper reports on the clinical use of a classification of handicaps in 6-7-year-old mentally retarded children. A child-adapted handicap code of WHO's ICIDH was used. It was easy to manage and added valuable information to the child's medical status and psychosocial evaluation. The inter-observer agreement was most satisfactory. The handicap dimension of ‘social integration’ ought to be regarded as ‘social interaction’ and needs to be specified further.
