This is a vertical bar graph that illustrates the proportion of children aged 5 to 14 with disabilities needing and using educational aids, by education type, for the 2005/2006 school year.

The Y axis is measured by percentages and increases by increments of ten from 0 up to 100.

The X axis is comprised of the three class types. From left to right, we have 'regular classes', 'part-time special education', and 'full-time special education'. Each class type has two vertical bars, one representing the proportion of children who use educational aids, and the other representing the proportion of children who need educational aids they did not have.

The rate of disabled children enrolled in regular classes who use educational aids is 50.7% and the rate of those who need educational aids they do not have is 14.3%.

The rate of disabled children enrolled in part-time special education who use educational aids is 89.9% and the rate of those who need educational aids they do not have is 23.6%.

The rate of disabled children enrolled in part-time special education who use educational aids is 86.5% and the rate of those who need educational aids they do not have is 17.3%.
