[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To give you a little bit of the information I think you are looking for I can tell you that I was paid a little more than $31,000 + benefits and retirement to be a 1:1 for a student in a public elementary school.  In that case I think the total expenses for this student would have exceeded private school tuition (the parents were not interested in that as far as I know)[/quote]

That's still cheaper than those privates.

KTS most expensive is $71,000 plus $2500 activity fee plus transportation fee plus therapy/service fees - easily could be over $100K[/quote]
Maybe but you also need to factor in baseline per pupil spending, a portion of the SLP/OT/PT/Vision specialist salaries as well. [/quote]

You assume that kids are actually getting that in the public schools.  Most of those would be nominal.  My kid got speech for 30minute with a group of 6 kids with non-related issues so I don't even consider that actual therapy.  Never heard of a vision specialist and we don't have PT's at our school.  Very few kids have 1-1 aides.[/quote]
Whether you consider it therapy or not they are still paid by the school district[/quote]

The cost of a 30 minute session divided by 6 kids is pretty nominal. [/quote]
