Description
All severely mentally handicapped children aged 5–19 years from the cityofManchester were identified in a cross-sectional study. A standardized Disability Assessment Schedule was used to assess the variety and degreeofdisabilities experienced by each child and by specific subgroups of the children. This paper focuses upon differences between groupsofEuropean and Non-European ethnic origin. Boys showed more disabilities than girls in both groups, but non-European children had more severe disabilities in virtually all categories. © 1986, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
