Good Morning,

Thank you for starring this thread.  I agree that price is quite steep.  Especially since our program is quite small compared to others.

I will be following this thread.

v/r,

Hello Colleagues,

I know there is a great deal of discussion within the AFWC group on the notification that came out regarding the new AOTA FWPE tool going live in September and the pricing that was established at $850 per OT program. I would like to hear from other programs who may feel as I do that the pricing is a bit steep compared to what we have been paying for such a form, and going to a flat fee for all versus a per student pricing. Perhaps as we learn more in the coming weeks that will make more sense, however, it may well be priced out of feasibility especially when that amount hasn't been built into this year's budget!

I am hoping others share my concern.

Regards,
