Given the universal concepts and language of the ICF, it is timely for clinicians, educators, researchers and everyone working with youth and adolescents with disabilities and chronic health conditions to incorporate its framework in transition practice and research. The ICF has potential to improve communication and collaboration among health professionals working within multidisciplinary teams to impact adult health outcomes that are meaningful to youth and families. The ICF also encourages a holistic approach to care by focusing on personal and environmental factors beyond health, thus professionals should embrace its theory, framework and applications in practice and research. We present the YouthKIT, a tool that uses concepts of the ICF to address transition needs of adolescents with chronic health conditions.
