Hi, I am currently trying to write a business plan to open a special needs school in the South East. I'm aiming for it to be a government funded free school but if that doesn't get accepted I will look into an independent school. This school would have a completely holistic approach so the child's education would be shaped to meet them there would be no one size fits all approach, it would be under the ABA/VB umbrella but in no way rigidly stuck to ABA if it didn't work for a child, its more the 1:1 approach that we are interested in. Each child would receive 1:1 tuition during all lessons. I am aware that there are similar schools in the area however they typically only accept children with a diagnoses of ASD and where I would want this school to differ is that it would accept children that have a diagnoses of SEN but it would not have to be ASD.
My question to you is how much of a demand is there for this kind of thing? Is it something you would be interested in?
