Interviewer instructions
B. Questions for all the people
This part involves all people who slept in the household the night before census day. The questions in this part are also found in the short questionnaire.
The questions in this part must be asked to every person following the order set. You must follow the flow of questions as arranged and read the question as written in the questionnaire. For more explanation, refer explanations in part 3.7 (how to ask questions).
Part "B" of the questionnaire contains the following questions:



Question 6: Do you have any disability? If yes, what type of disability?
In this question, we want to know if there is any member of the household who is disabled. If there is, we want to know what kind of disability he/she has. If the member of the household has no disability shade, code "1" in the space provided for question six.
Types of disabilities and their codes are as follows:

[] 1 Not disabled
[] 2 Leprosy
[] 3 Blind
[] 4 Dumb
[] 5 Deaf
[] 6 Albino
[] 7 Mental disability
[] 8 Multiple disability

[Illustration for question 6 is omitted]
[p. 29]
Note: Most parents don't like to show their disabled children; therefore, try to make the head of household understand the importance of enumerating disabled because without knowing the type and total number of disabled it is difficult for the government to make development plans for the disabled, which will help them in the future.
