Disability Profiles of Elementary and Middle School Students with Disabilities
This document seeks to go beyond students’ primary disability categories in understanding the challenges that they face. It compares the primary disability with parent experiences, students’ health and some of their functional limitations associated with their disabilities.

Lower-income and wealthier students differed in their disability profiles in important ways.
