Policy on evidence supported approaches to teaching and therapy

The school's mission statement reads as follows:

The provision of excellent, evidence supported, special education
and therapeutic treatment to learners with special educational needs.

The school recognises that due in part to the difficulties of research in applied settings, sound empirical evidence for the efficacy of specific therapies and teaching methods is not always available. We believe, however, that given,

it is possible to distinguish between acceptable approaches and those that tend towards pseudoscience or even quackery.

All therapy and teaching approaches used in the school, have been judged according to the criteria above.
