This report presents estimates of basic actions difficulty, which includes difficulties related to sensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional or behavioral functioning, in U.S. children aged 5\u201317 years based on questions from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Here are some results: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana\">Approximately 18% of children aged 5\u201317 had basic actions difficulty in one or more of the following domains of functioning: sensory, movement, cognitive, or emotional or behavioral. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana\">The percentage of children with difficulty in specific domains varied: 3% had sensory difficulty, 2% movement difficulty, 9% cognitive difficulty, and 10% emotional or behavioral difficulty. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana\">From 2001 through 2007, the percentage of children aged 5\u201317 with basic actions difficulty remained stable at about 18%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana\">In addition, income was influential. Poor children (3%) were more likely to have movement difficulty than children who were not poor (2%).
