Term 2025/26_L:
The aim of the course is to provide students with in-depth knowledge of various forms of supporting human development in the context of biological, psychological, and social functioning. During the classes, both theoretical foundations and practical aspects of planning supportive interventions are discussed, with the goal of improving quality of life and optimizing individual functioning across different areas of activity. An important component of the course is familiarizing students with the concept of functional diagnosis based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Students learn the main assumptions of this model, its structure, and its possible applications in analyzing human functioning in relation to individual capabilities, limitations, and environmental influences. The classes also cover the principles and stages of conducting functional diagnosis, including methods of data collection, interpretation, and formulation of diagnostic conclusions. The course program also includes methods and tools for planning interventions that support human development, enabling the appropriate adaptation of actions to the needs and capabilities of an individual. Particular attention is given to optimizing human functioning within the support process through goal setting, selecting appropriate intervention strategies, and monitoring the effects of implemented actions. |
