Hi Joolz
Sorry I didnt spot this post earlier, not that I would have been of any help as I dont know anything about the cost of ABA schools. Hopefully one of the girls will spot it now that I have reactivated and be able to help with this.
I hope you have a good outcome from the tribunal.

Hi Joolz,
Sorry, I dont know either. Are there any ABA teachers in your area you could contact to ask for a sort of quote?

Hi Julia, I also most apologise because I did see your post & sent an email to a contact of mine to see if someone has information for you but haven't turned anything up. I forgot to come back and tell you this! I'll keep an ear out and let you know if I hear something! Likewise, give us a shout if you come across anything.

Hiya Julia, just to update you here as well - I haven't been able to find anything out for you. I'm sorry! I think finding some ABA teachers in your area might be a good idea as Claire suggested. Please let us know what you find out!

I don't know about treehouse but certainly here in Cambridgeshire the funding allocated generally ranged between £30 - 35K pa for an ABA programme. A lot of this funding is now being withdrawn but that has been the situation over the last few years.
Hope this helps

We are off to tribunal for an ABA package split between home and mainstream nursery - son is 3 asking for 40 hours per week - 50 weeks per year. Have costed it out and just seems much higher than what I have seen people recover. I have heard place at Treehouse is about £56k (is this right). Does anyone know what a place for a 3 year old would be at an ABA school or advise what they have obtained either for ABA or specialist school for 3 year old. He is making brilliant progress and we will argue he will be able to go into mainstream in future. I have no idea how much places cost and it would be nice to say X school would cost a similar amount so it doesn't look quite so shocking next to the LA proposal (about £4k!)
