It was thanks to many on here that we worked out our 2 year old DC had autism and started with an ABA programme at 21 months.
It's 8 hours a week, with further hours supposed to have been made up by us after training. However, we still don't really have a clear idea of what exactly we should be doing at home so really DC is only getting about 10 hours a week of therapy - improving but not as fast as we'd hoped.
We do really like the current consultants (centre) and would ideally have a tutor come to our house to do extra hours on top - no luck with advertising. Now looking at hiring another consultant alongside as that seems to be the only option to get extra 1:1. But £60+ hour plus more for paperwork etc is hard to swallow (currently pay around £30). However this would only be for a few hours a month with cheaper tutors (sourced by them) making up the bulk of hours. Currently our consultants do all her sessions and the cost of paperwork/analysis is factored in.
Any suggestions - on how to learn to do it ourselves, how to find a tutor, whether to switch to another set up, or something different entirely - would be much appreciated.
