Education
The cost of education for a child with disabilities can be double the amount needed for a child without disabilities. Many students with special needs require multiple services such as classroom aides, counseling, specialized equipment, or access to health professionals during the day. Special education programs are often underfunded, leading to poor outcomes for students and repercussions for schools and communities. Unfortunately, many school districts today are seeing budget cuts, and these cuts exacerbate the challenges faced by special education programs.

Consider just a couple ways that federal money flows into your state.
