Definition
Children under age 18 with a disability residing in New Hampshire.
The American Community Survey defines disability as "the product of interactions among individuals’ bodies; their physical, emotional, and mental health; and the physical and social environment in which they live, work, or play. Disability exists where this interaction results in limitations of activities and restrictions to full participation at school, at work, at home, or in the community. For example, disability
may exist where a child has difficulty learning because the school cannot accommodate the child’s deafness."
