In the State of New York in particular, from 1 July 1993, all infants and children are eligible if they have the following characteristics:

Children must be under 3 years of age and

Have a disability and confirmed

Underdeveloped areas in one or more of the following developmental areas: physical, cognitive, communication, social-emotional and adaptive development.

As you can see the limited access is very few, I can assure you from personal experience that very few people, I would say less than we imagine! The offer is really available therapeutic ranges. The deals are those that are born and many associations that list and provide descriptions of services offered. I met a social worker who years ago had an autistic person in the family.

Various types of school funding while offering a special education class that is specifically tailored to the specific impairments. It should also allow the children a better development than those without it appropriate to support a normal school would be reached. Overall, there were about 430,000 students in USA in 2007 to support schools, representing about 4.5% of all students in USA.
