<br />Disability refers to any restriction or lack of ability (resulting from an impairment) to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Impairments associated with disabilities may be physical, mental, or sensory motor impairment such as partial or total blindness, low vision, partial or total deafness, oral defect, having only one hand/no hands, one leg/no legs, mild or severe cerebral palsy, retarded, mentally ill, mental retardation and multiple impairment. Data on disability will enable planners to prepare plans for rehabilitation, education, development, and preventive programs.
<br />Comprehensive and accurate data on persons with disability are essential in the formulation of plans for the rehabilitation, education, and development of persons with disability. This information is also important to rationalize the establishment of more government-subsidized institutions that would cater to the promotion of physical, emotional, and psycho-social well-being of persons with disability.
<br />To identify household members who may have disabilities, ask the respondent "Does have any physical or mental disability?". If the answer is Yes, write "X" in the box for Yes, otherwise, write "X" in the box for No.
