Researchers gathered data from states related to individual state funding systems, per pupil spending and identification rates of students with ASD to determine if state spending or special education funding methods affected identification rates of students with ASD.

Spending amounts per pupil corresponded to rates of identification for ASD.

While there are benefits to closing schools, often ones of financial nature, the loss of these schools is felt deeply within rural communities. There …
