April is Autism Awareness Month

I am right now doing a social voluntary year at a school for disabled children and am the aid of a kid with infantile cerebral palsy and developmental disorders including Epilepsy.
We have an autistic boy in our parallel class who has two school aids (they rotate every other week).
I dont know much about the us school system (just went for a semester to a high school as an exchange student). Can you please explain me what kind of schools/programms you have for special needs children.
Its kind of sad that the insurances arent giving the money where its really needed.
