Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Users are asked to specify the number and table in the final report that they are trying to match. You are probably talking about tables 2.29-2.31 in the NFHS-5 final report.
Below I will paste a Stata program that produces estimates of the prevalence of each type of impairment for children age 5-17. The estimates appear to be consistent with the report, although I have not checked them carefully. You will have to change the paths.
