When people ask "How do I use CP Resource?" there are many different ways to answer this depending on what information you are looking for and what part of your journey you are on.

We have designed CP Resource around the concept of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) system addressing human functioning, providing a standard language and framework that describes how people with a health condition function in their daily lives, rather than focusing on a labeled diagnosis or the presence or absence of disease. The ICF model considers the dynamics between a person’s health condition and environmental and personal factors which we think is a helpful and real world way to look at things. 

We have color coded each of 5 Key Content Categories that are part of ICF to help you better navigate the CP Resource. We'll be continually updating CP Resource with new information, the latest research and much more, so check back often for updates.
