Dear All,
Apologies for asking a 'medical' question but can anyone provide
answers to
the following questions or at least direct me to a Web-site that may
have
the answers:
On a world-wide basis, are there any figures that divide people with
impairments into those who have congenital impairments and those who
acquire impairments?
Are there any comparative figures for western society and the
majority
world along these lines?
Many thanks
Mairian
