Abstract

In Colombia, the need arises to implement the Certification of disability and registration for the localization and characterization of persons with disabilities, using that classification as a standardized method, for it sets the resolution 113 of 2020.This article aims to design a guide to make the certification process of the situation of disability in Colombia. To issue the certificate requires the use of two instruments, among these is the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the questionnaire for the assessment of disability (WHODAS 2.0) which provide a common and unified language for the description of health and its states, allowing all professionals in that area to have greater ease of application. Concluding that ICF is a complete instrument and that it requires expertise on the part of the interdisciplinary team when applying and issuing results objectively at the time of the disability certification.
