The ‘F-words’ provide a strengths-based and holistic framework to view childhood development, disability and functioning that can benefit service providers, researchers and families alike. If we want the world to adopt the values of the ‘F-words’, we must bring these values to the world by applying them outside of academia. This short communication outlines how <i>Out of My Mind</i> illustrates and exemplifies each ‘F-words’ domain, as well as the interconnectedness with other domains, from the perspective of a speech-language pathologist and PhD student in Rehabilitation Science. Key reflections include the impact of social, attitudinal and physical environments on the protagonist's participation and how <i>Fun</i> and <i>Functioning</i> are shown in the movie's first-person perspective.
