Council funded ABA Programmes

The request was refused by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council.

Dear Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council,

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

Dr Syed
