Participation and Activity Limitation Survey 2006: Tables (part IV)

View the most recent version.

Introduction

The Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is Canada's national survey that gathers information about adults and children whose daily activities are limited by a physical, mental, or other health-related condition or problem.

This document presents data tables associated to the seventh report "The 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey: Families of Children with Disabilities in Canada".

It is important to note that these tables and report are based on child-level data. This means that all numbers (or percentages) in fact represent the number (or percentage) of children with disabilities whose responding parent gave a certain response to the survey. For the purpose of these tables and report, the expression "number (or percentage) of parents of children with disabilities" is used throughout the tables and report. Also, it is important to note that the child is the respondent, and parents are answering on their behalf. Therefore, it can not be inferred from these tables and accompanying report that the findings are representative of all parents of children with disabilities. Furthermore, what we refer to as "parent" could have been whoever served as the child's guardian during the time of data collection.
