The article provides an overview of rehabilitation programs for children with disabilities in Osh (Kyrgyz Republic) and the prospects for the introduction of ICF into the system of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities based on the analysis of certain medical and social expertise indicators and the prescription of rehabilitation programs for children under 18 years living in the city Osh. The relevance of the study is determined by the high rates of disability among children and the lack of similar research in the Kyrgyz Republic. Over the years of the study (2018–2020) there is an upward trend in repeated disability among children: in 2018 — 62.4%, in 2019 — 64.0%, in 2020 — 73.9%, with a corresponding growth rate in 2019 (−8.2%) and in 2020 (+18%), and in relation to 2018 (+8.2%). One of the reasons for the revealed trend is the low effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for children with disabilities. The analysis of types of rehabilitation (medical, educational, vocational, and technical means of rehabilitation) reveals existing risks and problems caused by outdated rehabilitation technologies without unified coordination and monitoring. It is suggested to introduce the ICF into the rehabilitation system as a tool for coordination and monitoring to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for children.
