title: Access to care for children and adolescents with disabilities.
abstract: A survey of Connecticut pediatricians indicated that 90% of the respondents intended to provide care to children with disabilities. However, only 72% provided wheelchair access and only 68% accepted Medicaid reimbursement. Details of barrier-free design are presented and systems of support for the special needs of disabled patients are described.
