The Incidence of Visual Impairment and the Child Count.

McMahon, Eugene

RE:view, v29 n2 p51-53 Sum 1997

Describes current child-count systems that count students with visual impairments and additional disabilities in only one disability area. This results in an undercount of the incidence of visual impairment. Discusses the need for children to be initially counted by the disability of the lowest incidence. (CR)
