Abstract

Hispanic residents are the fastest growing population of the U.S. Only recently have government agencies begun to identify the associated demographic facts and inequities which are specific to this population. In particular, limited attention has been directed to Hispanic children with disabilities. Available government reports are used to provide a basic awareness of the oral and general health needs of this population of youngsters.
