The "Any Disability" row gives the percent of students in an institution
type who reported a disability. For example, out of all students attending
2 Year Institutions, 10.7% reported a disability. The
rest of the disability types listed in the rows represent a percent distribution
of students who reported a disability.
To calculate the percent of all students attending a particular type of institution
who reported a certain disability type, multiply the percent given for students
attending a particular type of institution who reported a certain disability
by the percent of all students attending the institution type who reported
any disability and divide the result by 100. Example:Calculate the percent
of students attending a 4 year doctoral granting institution who reported
a hearing impairment. This calculation would be: (6.9x7.5)/100=0.52%
