We will consider how you function in your activities in terms of six domains. These
domains are broad areas of functioning intended to capture all of what a child can
or cannot do. In DI 25225.030 through DI 25225.055, we describe each domain in general terms. For most of the domains,
we also provide examples of activities that illustrate the typical functioning of
children in different age groups. For all of the domains, we also provide examples
of limitations within the domains. However, we recognize that there is a range of
development and functioning, and that not all children within an age category are
expected to be able to do all of the activities in the examples of typical functioning.
We also recognize that limitations of any of the activities in the examples do not
necessarily mean that a child has a "marked" or "extreme" limitation, as defined in
DI 25225.020. The domains we use are:
-
1.
Acquiring and using information;
-
2.
Attending and completing tasks;
-
3.
Interacting and relating with others;
-
4.
Moving about and manipulating objects;
-
5.
Caring for yourself; and,
-
6.
Health and physical well-being.
