An update of information presented in the original article (Fagan & Wallace, 1979), this article provides more recent figures on handicapping conditions in school‐age and adult populations. The title and language usage have been changed to reflect current understanding of the connection between descriptive language and attitudes toward people with disabilities. Changes in federal legislation, interpretations, and their impact are presented. To complement the original article, the update focuses more heavily on adult handicapping conditions and rehabilitation services.
