  -> Thank you, Phil. Yes, with a hyphen.
agree  MollyRose: low-incidence disabilities. That is the English term used in our school district. I agree that it could be said better in Spanish. A lot of jargon could be said better in either language! (grin)

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Sí (por uso) pero diría más bien low-prevalence disability. Piensa en el asma por ejemplo, una enfermedad de baja incidencia pero alta prevalencia. El original no incluiría "asma" como de "baja frecuencia" aunque sea de "baja incidencia".
