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.
