A cluster sample of 532 children aged 8 to 19 years with certain impairments were compared to a matched sample of 316 healthy children of the same age. Almost half (46\%) of the impaired had a disability, which was mostly in the domain of body disposition ability (in 88\%), behaviour (63\%) and situational functioning (54\%). In the controls, where 12\% had some kind of disability, the corresponding figures were 13\%, 11\% and 15\%. The most disabling conditions were CP (67\% handicapped), MBD (52\%) and epilepsy (42\%). The most frequent non-compensated handicaps were those of occupation (44\% of impaired), mobility (31\%) and social integration (22\%). More than one handicap was associated most frequently with CP (76\%) and with epilepsy (36\%). Neurological impairments are more disabling and handicapping than non-neurological ones, with the exception of mobility and occupation handicaps in asthmatics.
