CAP

The CAP is a standardised method for classifying additional care needs indicated by current impairments in five domains of body functions: physical health, neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions, sensory functions, mental functions, and voice and speech functions, in children from 3 to 18 years of age. The intensity of care in each domain is defined from 0 (no need for additional care) to 5 (needs help with every activity). The intensity of additional care in each of the five separate domains (which means irrespective of the need for additional care in the other domains) indicates the CAP for the individual child.
