Applied Behavioural Analysis Request

The request was successful.

Cameron North-Bates

Dear Warwickshire County Council,

Please can you tell me how many children are receiving any Applied
Behavioural Analysis (ABA) provision - whether it is provided in an
ABA/VB* home programme, in an ABA/VB primary or secondary special
school or alongside mainstream school at any age in a part-time
home/school programme. *ABA is sometimes called VB or Verbal
Behaviour.

Please can you then tell me how many of them had Applied
Behavioural Analysis due to a tribunal order and how many receive
this without a tribunal. If without a tribunal, had parents
initiated legal action but reached settlement with you for ABA
before tribunal took place?

Please can you forward me any policy documents that are associated
with the awarding of any Applied Behavioural Analysis provision and
demonstrate how the decision is made.

Finally, please can you explain your rationale for awarding Applied
Behavioural Analysis without tribunal orders. Are your criteria for
awarding ABA laid out on your SEND Local Offer page?

Yours faithfully,

Cameron North-Bates
