Seen, Counted, Included ( Using data to shed light on the well – being of children with disabilities

This report aims to generate evidence on children with disabilities aligned, to the greatest extent possible, with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the biopsychosocial model of disability. This intent guided the production of the global and regional estimates and is reflected in country-level data collected by the Child Functioning Module. In line with this approach, the expression ‘children with disabilities’ used in charts and tables throughout the report refers to ‘children with functional difficulties’.
