BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The state comptroller is auditing the State Education Department, specifically the management of special education. Education advocates say this is to protect preschool special education programs.

The groups Advocates for Children of New York and the Alliance for Quality Education are worried that recent reports of costly fraud by some providers could jeopardize the programs.

The preschool special education program serves three to five year olds with developmental delays or other disabilities.
