Description
For sample children aged 4 to 17 who had at least minor difficulties with emotions, concentration, behavior or being able to get along with others in the past 6 months (EMODIFF), DIFTSPSCH indicates whether, at any time in the past 6 months, the child attended a school for students with such difficulties.

Beginning in 2011, children with an affirmative response for DIFTSPSCH were asked if the school was a day school, or a school where the child stayed overnight (DIFTSPSCHDOB).
Information was also collected about treatment or counseling in other locations.

- Daycare, child care, or play group (DIFTDC)
- Office, clinic or center in community (DIFTOF)
- Hospital emergency room, crisis center, or emergency shelter (DIFTER)
- Hospital or community day treatment program (DIFTHOS)
For each of these locations, interviewers asked who provided the treatment or counseling. The possible responses varied across locations.
