what are the four underlying principles of the ICF
universality- applicable to all people irrespective of health conditions and in all physical social and cultural contexts; acknowledges anyone can have a disability
not to label people with disabilities as a separate group of people
parity and aetiological- not an explicit or implicit distinction between different health conditions whether mental or physical; all health conditions on equal footing
neutrality - neutral language, so it can be used to classify both positive or negative aspects of functioning and disability
environmental influence - the ICF includes environmental factors in recognition of the important role of environment in peoples functioning
