Definition of \"Child\" Key to Decision

To determine whether the employee’s absences were protected by the FMLA, the court focused on the law’s definition of child. The FMLA defines a child to include both children under 18 and those who are \"18 years of age or older and incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical disability.\" Under the FMLA regulations, the term \"incapable of self-care\" means that the person needs daily assistance or supervision to provide daily self-care in three or more of the ***\"activities of daily living\" (ADLs)*** or \"instrumental activities of daily living\" (IADLs). The regulations further define ADLs to include caring for one’s grooming and hygiene, bathing, dressing, and eating. IADLs include cooking, cleaning, shopping, taking public transportation, and paying bills. Based on this definition, the court determined that the son was incapable of self-care because he could not perform four IADLs both while he was in the hospital and after he was released. He could not cook, clean, shop, or take public transportation.
