Disability status is determined by difficulties in these six areas: hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, self-care, and independent living; children aged 5 to 14 years can have difficulty in hearing, vision, ambulatory, and self-care; and children <5 years can have difficulties in hearing and vision (American Community Survey, 2015). Among young adults, cognitive disabilities were the most common, whereas mobility disabilities were more prevalent in those over the age of 45 (Okoro et al., 2018).
