Objective To standardize Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS)-II Chinese version to establish norm of ABAS-II Chinese version (6-18 years old). Methods International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and psychological mea-surement were taken. Results Chinese version of ABAS-II (6-18 years old) was developed. The norms of general scores, main domains scores and adaptive skill scores had been established. Conclusion Chinese version of ABAS-II (6-18 years old) can be applied for the evalu-ation of adaptive behavior for Chinese children aged 6-18 years. The standardized Chinese version of ABAS-II (6-18 years old) meets the re-quirement of reliability and validity of the US version.

Using the approaches of ontology, informatics and knowledge management, this paper explored and established ICF based ontology, concepts and terminology, classification, coding system and related knowledge management. The applications of ICF based infor-mation standard had been discussed in the areas of disability and rehabilitation assessment, clinical and rehabilitation information, Function-al Diagnosis Related Groups (fDRGs) and disability survey statistics and policy development.

This research explored the rehabilitation of hearing and speech for children with hearing and speech impairments using the theory and method of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. An evaluation system of rehabilitation for children with hearing and speech impairment, which consisted of the functions and structures of cognition and speech, verbal behaviors, activity and participation, and environments, had been developed.

An advanced web-based database management and statistic monitoring system had been developed by system requirement analysis and framework design. The system which has implemented the related functions, such as data input, modification, upload, printing,recall, statistic, user administration and etc.

This paper explored the current conceptual framework of disability and rehabilitation, and constructed theoretical structurewith three layers of international convention, resolutions and policies, and domestic laws and operational tools. The characteristics of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) had been discussed with inclusive development approach. Some recommendations had been proposed forthe development of rehabilitation and work programs of rehabilitation for all in China.

Objective To analyse the criterion-related validity of comprehensive ICF Core Sets for stroke. Methods Comparison of concepts of items among SF-36, Barthel index, Mini-mental State Examination, WHO quality of life-BREF, WHO Disability Assessment Scale Ⅱ and Comprehensive ICF Core Sets for stroke had been conducted using the linking rules established by Cieza and Stucki. Field test had been conducted for 93 patients with stroke with the above 6 scales. Results 16 body function items and 27 activities and participation items matched with items of the selected functioning measurement scales (0.4

Management information platform of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) was developed based on the Classification Markup Language (ClaML). The standard representative and management of the ICF structure, encoding system,classes and semantics had developed, and the functions such as the classification editing, modification, search, viewing and checking had been realized. This system can be used in classification import, export and application in other systems.
