Evaluating Participation With the FACT

This Idea Swap describes a tool (Functional Abilities Classification Tool, FACT) that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can use to assess the degree to which students with disabilities participate in school activities and the degree of supports they require to participate. The FACT was developed by Klein and Kraus de Camargo (2018). The article is open access: Klein, B., & Kraus de Camargo, O. (2018). A pro-posed functional abilities classification tool for developmental disorders affecting learning and behavior. I highly recommend downloading the supple-mental material for the article. It provides a suc-cinct explanation of the FACT, instructions for using and scoring the FACT, and forms that can be used to record assessment data.
