Product Description:

Another example of the increase of those diagnosed with ASD is the child count data collected by the INDOE, Department of Special Education. These data are collected from public school districts across Indiana. According to the December 1 child count data, the number of students identified in 2009 was 10,643. During that year, the incidence rate was 1 in 101. By December 2010, that number had increased to 11,514 and as of December 2011 that count was 12,226. According to the child count data from December 2012, the number of children served under that diagnostic category is now 13,020. This shows an increase of 794 students from the previous year. The number of students enrolled in Indianas public schools during the 2011-2012 school year was approximately 1,041,557. Using that data and the incidence data from December 2012, approximately 13 in 1000 students in Indiana have a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. This years identification rate is 1 in 77.
