------------------- Data from 1991-92 through 1993-94 for all age groups include children with disabilities served under Chapter 1 of ESEA (SOP). Beginning in 1994-95, all services to children and youth with disabilities were provided only through IDEA, Parts B and C. Infants and toddlers were first served under Part C in 1987-88; however, the data collection was unreliable in the early years of the program. Consequently, counts of children served under Part C are included in the totals presented only for 1991-92 forward Reporting on autism and traumatic brain injury was required under IDEA beginning in 1992-93 and was optional in 1991-92. States had the option of reporting children ages 3-9 under developmental delay beginning in 1997-98. Data based on the December 1, 2000 count, updated as of August 30, 2001.
