title: Hispanics with disabilities in Texas congressional districts.
abstract: It is difficult to comprehend the difficulties faced by individuals with special needs and their families when they are couched in "mega numbers". These complications are magnified further in considering the burgeoning Hispanic population with disabilities in Texas. The need is to somehow "personalize" these numbers if we are to bring increased attention to these individuals with special needs. To this end, Census Bureau data at the Congressional District level were used to illustrate an approach to personalize the information for community residents and health practitioners.
