Abstract
The ICIDH classification system has had an important effect on many areas of rehabilitation. In this article an application of the handicap category of the ICIDH system within the assessment of aphasia is described. This assessment procedure, Communicative Profiling System, provides an example of how detailed and authentic examination of complex social phenomena can be accomplished. A case study and implications of this procedural application are provided.
