Description

For sample children ages 5-17 who have ever attended school and are at least in the first grade, GONEDSPSCHOL reports if the sample child receives, or the respondent thinks the sample child needs to receive, special classes because of a disability or health problem.

GONEDSPSCHOL is part of the Child Health supplement, first released in 1981. This supplement includes a number of questions on child's schooling. For more information and related variables, please see GOSCHOOLEV, or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
