Examples of ICHI Codes applicable to Educational Therapy

The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, provides a standardized framework for classifying health interventions across medical, rehabilitation, and public health contexts. Built on a three-axis structure - Target, Action, and Means - ICHI enables systematic coding of interventions aligned with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This framework is particularly relevant to educational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, communication support, and assistive-technology provision, allowing practitioners to map real-world interventions into standardized stem codes. By integrating ICHI with ICD (for diagnosis) and ICF (for functioning and goals), educational therapists can design holistic, multi-component intervention plans that enhance documentation, interoperability, research comparability, and outcome tracking. Despite challenges related to code specificity and adoption, ICHI offers a powerful tool for strengthening inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming practice and advancing coordinated, rights-based disability support.
