Spectrum Sunday Play Group in Brooklyn

Jill has tried this out with her boys (one on the spectrum and
another not), and gives it a good review. Not all of the programming is spectrum focused, but the Sunday play group is, and they will apparently be a SNACK expansion site in fall 2007.

New ABA School in Manhattan

Here's their announcement. Word from parents who have inquired is that they plan to have 30 pupils, and they will be Carter funded, with an estimated tuition of $90K. I'm thrilled to learn of new seats offering what sounds like a quality ABA program, but whew is that a big ticket.
