Funding

Hi, i have a three year old who is waiting a diagnosis. I was wondering what funding is available for my child? I wanted him to start ABA therapy however it is soo expensive. 

has anyone got an EHCP, did you apply yourself or through school? Ive heard that you can request for break down of funding and use it as per your discretion? Also how much roughly is the funding 

thanks!
