Equal access to education (a consequence of the 14th Amendment) means that the school district more or less has to do whatever it takes to educate each kid regardless of disability. A modern, functional district will have a small army of Speech Language Pathologist (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), etc. jumping between schools and/or special ed classrooms to work with kids. The more severe the needs of a kid, the more therapists and therapy sessions they'll need. This adds up quickly. I suspect a lot of this is covered by universal health coverage in other western nations.
