Description
For sample children age 3 to 17 years who ever had a learning disability and ever received treatment or counseling for the problem, this variable indicates whether such treatment was received in the past 12 months.
The Field Representative's Manual does not provide a definition for treatment or any criteria for counseling, so these terms are assumed to be respondent defined.
