I work in a preschool classroom for children with autism spectrum disorders. My classroom is located on an isolated site with 5 classes that only serve children with special needs. Because we are a preschool site, we do not receive Title 1 or ADA funding because those programs do not assist preschools. However, because we are a special education site, we do not receive the funding that other preschool programs receive such as Head Start. This means that any "extras" we need in the classroom are not likely to be purchased by the school district and, in the end the teachers donate their own money to purchase these materials.
