Census 2000 indicates that one in 12 or approximately 5.2 million
children have disabilities.
Actual
numbers could be higher.
Children With
Disabilities This figure reflects a significant increase from the previous census,
the reasons for which include improvements in medical care that allow
children born with disabilities to live longer as well as greater awareness
and willingness to report disabilities. Even so, specialists say the numbers
may be underestimated because they don't include people with less severe
impairments, such as minor speech impediments -- which may explain why the
census figures are lower than the enrollment numbers for special education.
