dc.description.abstractThe series of Skills for Life (S4L) briefs "Hidden in Plain Sight" provides clear, data-driven snapshots of the prevalence of different disabilities and disorders among school-age children in Latin America and the Caribbean, using the Global Burden of Disease estimated prevalence rates contrasting these with administrative data from the education systems. The briefs are designed for policymakers, ministry teams, and education practitioners seeking actionable insights to strengthen inclusion, early detection, and support students.
