Our data based approach to teaching commits us to determining whether what we do as teachers and therapists is actually working—that is, are the students learning. Moreover, much of our teaching methodology has already been validated by a substantial amount of systematic research. That nevertheless leaves interesting questions, some of which we can address in our own systematic research efforts. However, because we do not obtain funds for conducting research, we have no research assistants. All of our empirical work is done by our staff members and, because it is done with our students during the school day, it necessarily is directly related to their needs as expressed in their IEPs, which we consider to be effective and efficient instruction.
