The Wrong strategy

Not Improvement

The biggest challenge in special education is knowing what to do.

They're literally endless possibilities of how to support a child

However, the evidence-based practice research shows us that only 27 out of nearly 800 practices proposed were actually successful. 

This tells us that only 3.3% of practices are successful and that there is a risk of over a 94% failure rate if a provider does not apply the correct methods. 

This still does not reflect the chance for a provider who only uses the 27th practices to use them in the wrong combination, which will also result in a poor or worse intervention outcome.

Therefore, we can understand that the risk and the potential for success of a positive intervention is far smaller than the rist of failing the childs intervetion.

This, unfortunately, reflects the reality of why there are so few success stories and why there are thousands, if not millions, of children lacking educational outcomes.

In fact, many of the interventions fail so often on a regular basis that it's considered normal and often will not be talked about unless something much worse happens and the children get hurt or even die.
