Development of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Sets for children and youth with deafblindness: protocol for a multistudy collaboration across regions of WHO

Ethical approval will be obtained for all stages of the project, in the relevant locations, ensuring the protection of participant rights and confidentiality. The findings from this project will be disseminated through peer-reviewed scientific publications, presentations at local, national and international conferences, and stakeholder reports aimed at healthcare providers, educators and policymakers. These results will inform future practices, interventions and policies to better support children and youth with deafblindness.
