A series of government and voluntary agency reports is used to compare the increasing growth of the numbers of children and adults with disabilities and special health care needs in California and the nation. Demographic data are used to emphasize the extent and impact of these special needs. The finding that dental care is the service most needed but not received by children with special needs is cited with a challenge to the profession.
