Abstract

Prevalence rate and pattern of disabilities were studied in severely mentally and physically handicapped children in school age in Yokohama. We visited institutions and schools for retarded children in Yokohama and its neighborhood or made contact with them by telephone. The study disclosed a total of 192 children on May 1, 1988. Prevalence rate was 0.51 per 1,000. Patterns of disabilities were: 1) most of the children (94.8%) lived with their families. 2) eighty-eight percent of the children attended school for retarded children. 3) about twenty percent of the children who attended school needed tube feeding.
