- Total — first recognised
- sensory function impairments — neuromuscular, skeletal and movement-related (statodynamic) function impairments — re-recognised
- impairment of mental functions — recognised for the first time
- sensory function impairments — cardiovascular system function impairments — re-recognised
- impairment of language and speech functions — recognised for the first time

How to read this table
Columns show the total number of children each year, while rows categorize them by the nature of their permanent functional impairments. Comparing indicators across different impairment types allows for tracking the structure of disability among minors. Categories include impairments of mental functions and impairments of language and speech functions
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Total — re-recognized (297,775), impairment of mental functions — re-recognized (96,619), Total — first-time recognized (89,004), impairment of sensory functions — neuro-impairment (56,115), impairment of mental functions — first-time recognized (31,128). The gap between the highest and lowest is 1,592 times. The top five account for 74.3% of the total across all categories — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
