Analysis of results

The results of final questionnaire reveal that Catcote Academy staff benefitted greatly from learning about different menthods. In each instance, there was an improvement in the percentage of staff who said that they were familiar with the methods covered during the project:

	Start of the project	End of the project
TEACCH	81.25%	85.7%
Video modelling	53.1%	91.2%
Makaton	84.3%	92.9%
Picture instructions	56.25%	100%
Modelling skills (practical action)	46.8%	85.7%

The use of these methods by staff also improved, with the percentage who said they 'never' used them reducing significantly:

	Start of the project	End of the project
TEACCH	31.2%	19.6%
Video modelling	84.3%	53.6%
Makaton	25%	21.1%
Picture instructions	50%	5.4%
Modelling skills (practical action)	59,3%	17.9%

The biggest reductions were seen in the use of video modelling and picture process schemes, the two main focuses of the project.

Staff's views of life skills (social adaptive skills) classes also improved, with 100% agreeing that these were important at the end of project. A much higher percentage agreed that teaching pre-vocational skills in business environments within the school was useful - 94.6% by the end og the project, compared to 59% at the start. Similarly, the percentage of staff believing that teaching such skills in real businesses is useful rose from 41% at the beginning of the project to 84% at the end.
