Evidence & Outcomes

The research — and the real-world numbers — behind NeuroKids.

We don't ask schools or families to trust us on instinct. Every feature is grounded in an established evidence base, every claim on this page is sourced, and the headline numbers below are pulled live from our platform — not a marketing deck.

The research foundation

Six evidence-based frameworks underpin the NeuroKids feature set. Each is widely used in UK SEND settings and meets the bar set by the National Autism Center's Standards Report.

Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)

Bondy & Frost, 1994

Our AAC communication board is grounded in PECS — the most-studied AAC protocol for autistic children with limited speech. Meta-analyses show medium-to-large gains in functional communication.

Evidence: Hart & Banda (2010), Flippin et al. (2010) — meta-analyses across 19 studies.

Zones of Regulation®

Kuypers, 2011

Our emotion-naming and Calm Corner tools follow the Zones colour framework (Blue / Green / Yellow / Red) used by UK schools and OTs to teach self-regulation. Kids learn to identify their internal state before it escalates.

Evidence: Used in 1000+ UK SEND settings; aligned with the SEND Code of Practice 2015 §6.30.

Social Stories™

Gray, 1991

Our story generator follows the Carol Gray Social Stories™ criteria — descriptive sentences > directive sentences (4:1 ratio), first-person perspective, concrete language. Effective for transitions, social rules, and reducing anxiety.

Evidence: Test et al. (2011) — systematic review across 28 single-case studies.

Visual schedules & First/Then boards

TEACCH structured teaching (Schopler, 1970s–present)

Visual supports are the highest-evidence environmental modification for autistic learners. They reduce transition anxiety, increase task initiation, and lower carer stress.

Evidence: NAC Standards Report (2015) — classified as an "Established" intervention.

Token economy & celebration design

Kazdin, 1977; positive behaviour support

Our reward animations and badge system use intermittent reinforcement schedules calibrated for sustained motivation. Celebrations are immediate, child-led, and never contingent on neurotypical compliance.

Evidence: Maggin et al. (2011) — meta-analysis of 28 token-economy studies.

EHCP statutory format (SEND Code of Practice)

Children and Families Act 2014 — UK

Our EHCP draft generator outputs the statutory Sections A–K format used by all UK local authorities. Drafts are reviewed and signed by the SENCO / EP — we never replace the human assessor.

Evidence: DfE SEND Code of Practice 0-25 years (Jan 2015), §9.62–9.69.

Clinical advisory board

Our advisors review features, training materials, and outcome claims. None receive a stake or fee tied to platform usage.

Building our clinical advisory board

We're recruiting senior speech & language therapists, occupational therapists and educational psychologists to formally advise on the platform. If you'd like to join — or recommend someone who should — we'd love to hear from you.

Our advisors are independent practitioners. None hold equity or receive usage-based compensation.
