Use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health in assessing the readiness of persons with disabilities to be accompanied when receiving services, including accompanied accommodation

Introduction. Currently, assisted living technologies are actively developing in the Russian Federation. When receiving social services, education, promotion of employment, disabled people need to be accompanied. The effectiveness of these measures depends both on the conditions for the provision of services, the qualifications of accompanying persons, determining the required amount of support, on the ability of a disabled person to live independently and work, and on the readiness of the disabled person to be accompanied when receiving services, including a joint venture.

Target. Rationale for the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health in assessing the degree of readiness of persons with disabilities to be accompanied when receiving services, including accompanied accommodation.

Materials and methods. Analysis of the results of monitoring the development of joint venture technologies, presented by 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation for the period 2020–2021 on a wide range of issues, including the organization of employment of people with disabilities who are on a permanent SP and employed people with disabilities, social employment of people with disabilities, training of people with disabilities who are on a permanent accompanied accommodation, organizing a accompanied accommodation in stationary social service institutions, etc., using the ICF in determining the readiness of people with disabilities to be accompanied.

Results. The number of disabled people receiving services within the framework of accompanied accommodation was studied based on materials submitted from 85 subjects of the Russian Federation as of 01.10.2022. The monitoring analysis showed that in 80 subjects of the Russian Federation (94.1 %), work is underway to organize accompanied accommodation. In 2022, there is an increase in the number of disabled people receiving services within the framework of accompanied accommodation to 6649 people, of which 4245 people are on educational (training) accompanied accommodation, 2404 people are on permanent accompanied accommodation.

Discussion. Using the methodology of the ICF, questionnaires were developed, as well as a methodology for assessing the readiness of persons with disabilities to be accompanied when receiving services, including accompanied accommodation, carried out using them.

Conclusions. The developed criteria and methodology for their use make it possible to quantify the degree of readiness of persons with disabilities and children with disabilities to be accompanied when receiving services, including accompanied accommodation, and be used in the preparation of an individual support program.
