Application of the Classification of Disabilities to children from 12 to under 16 years of age.
In 1984 we investigated 480 physically and/or mentally impaired children, in the age group 12-16 years, including 208 mentally handicapped children. They were classified with the help of the International Classifications of Disability (WHO). We analysed the frequency distributions of every item of the Classification of Disability. As a result of this analysis we suggest a reduction of the number of categories.
