NOTE: Disability was defined based on responses of parents/guardians about limitations in usual activities, receipt of developmental services, ability to do regular school work, and ability to walk, run, or use stairs. Totals may be used to compute percnetages (e.g., 2,062,000/32,766,000 = 0.063 = 6.3% = the percent of children age 6 to 14 who have a disability).
