On kidsdata.org, indicators related to children with disabilities include the number and percentage of children and young people ages 5-20 with a disability; enrollment of public school students in Special Education; parents reporting that their child has an ongoing condition that limits his or her activities; and parents reporting that their child has been diagnosed with a learning disability.

A significant number of children have physical, behavioral, mental, or emotional conditions which limit their functioning, including such varied conditions as asthma, autism, and blindness. Nationally, an estimated 12.3% of children ages 5-17 have a disability that makes it difficult to perform everyday activities, and the proportion of children who have a disability is increasing nationwide. This may be influenced by the growing number of infants born at low birthweight and the increased likelihood that those infants will survive. It also may be affected by improvements in the identification of children who have special needs. Accessible health care and supportive services, including special education, can reduce the extent to which disabilities prevent children from engaging in childhood activities. More
