This act also wrote into the law for a temporary period SSA's criteria for evaluating pain and required the consideration of the cumulative effect of multiple disabilities.
The high prevalence of disabilities, the overlapping between mental and physical diseases and disabilites, and the high frequencies of multiple disabilities have implications for the management and rehabilitation of these patients.
These MANOVA analyses were repeated using the following measures as covariates: sex, non-verbal ability (RCPM), severity of hearing loss, presence of multiple disabilities, additional medical conditions, mother's education, English as first language in home, and socioeconomic status.
The effect of early confirmation remained non-significant in the MANCOVA with sex, non-verbal ability (RCPM), severity of hearing loss, presence of multiple disabilities, additional medical conditions, mother's education, English as first language in home, and social economic status as covariates (multivariate F=0.14, Wilk's λ=0.99, df = 4,94, p=0.968).
The caregivers of children with severe to profound multiple disabilities were the bulk of the 46% that did not have their children with disabilities in school.
