  24. Caveats • All statistics are not equal • Qualify and explain data sources whenever possible • OSEP figures underestimate numbers of children served by personnel in blindness and low vision

  25. Caveats, continued • Try not to overwhelm the readers – • Select what is pertinent to the argument • Remember what Mark Twain said . . .

  26. Mark Twain Reminds Us . . . “There are three types of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.”
