The information for IEP students per state was difficult to find. I found information for the early 2000s, but no later. I finally found each state's percentage on the ed.gov website. West Virginia's percentage of IEP students is higher than all the other states surrounding them in Per Capita Personal Income. You can say that the lower income states would have a higher percentage of IEP students. I don't believe that this is completely true. If you say that, then you would believe that only lower income families have children with learning disabilities. Students with learning disabilities come from a variety of situations, you can not just pinpoint low income as the main cause. I did a bar graph for the per capita income and a pie chart for the percentage of IEP students.
