The methodology SEMAFOR home has been introduced in May at the World Congress of Occupational Therapists 2018 (WFOT). In the exhibition hall we had a booth presenting the tool in the form of video and leaflets´ distribution. We participated on one poster session, too. WFOT is the most important event in the field of ergo therapy in the world. It takes place only once every 4 years. The 17th Congress held in Cape Town (South Africa) visited nearly 2 500 delegates from 85 countries of the world.
Participation at the Congress was very successful, as it proved that there currently does not exist any comparable tool for evaluating barriers in the home environment of disabled persons. A number of delegates have expressed interest in SEMAFOR home, both in terms of providing a licence for teaching at universities and in terms of its use in practice on a commercial basis.
