Daily Life Therapy and Autism Ranking: Insufficient/Mixed evidence

Cost and Time

Cost

According to the 2012 Ofsted report, the fees for attending Rugeley Horizon School are:

  • Annual fees (day pupils): £66,633–£90,000
  • Annual fees (boarders): £129,899–£221,655

We have, as yet, been unable to identify the costs of attending the other schools which follow daily life therapy.

Time

The day programme at the Boston Higashi School operates 217 days a year and the residential programme operates 304 days a year. In theory the education happens throughout the 24 hours, and certainly throughout the child’s waking day.

The Rugeley Horizon School in the UK operates up to 52 weeks and provides 24 hour care.

Parental involvement

According to the Boston Higashi School website, accessed on 6 January 2017,

“The Boston Higashi School requires active participation from parents in their child’s program. Participation includes gaining an understanding of the educational philosophy of Daily Life Therapy®, participating in workshops and individualized training sessions, maintaining two-way communication with staff, implementing strategies for behavioral self- regulation and enthusiastically supporting their child at celebratory school events which mark very special times of the year for the school family.

“Family participation and involvement through trainings, workshops, home visits, joint activities, weekend pick-ups and longer vacations together bolster the mission to educate our students to become lifelong productive members of their families and communities".
