Some children meet developmental milestones more slowly than do others. The census numbers for this group are unreliable and, in our opinion, far too low. The data set above that we examined made an overall projection, as opposed to a distribution by type of disability. Our source here was the US Census Bureau Fact Finder. While there are other sources available, we would recommend the continued use of this source. THE W T GR0 DBA RECREATION ACCESSIBILITY CONSULT ONE SOURCE. INFINITE SOLUTIONS.
