At a city wide level, the increase in staff confidence and job satisfaction extends previous research and is an important implication for services to consider in retaining staff.…”

“…Papers which were unrelated to intensive interaction, if the participants were not staff in organizations where it had been implemented, if papers were unrelated to those with diagnoses of learning disabilities and/or autism or if there was no distinction between staff if some had only used intensive interaction with those with alternative diagnoses Leaning, 2006;Sri-Amnuay, 2012;, one recruited female staff only (Bodicoat, 2013) and four studies were not explicit about gender (Clegg et al, 2018;Jones & Howley;Nagra et al, 2017;Rayner et al, 2016). Sample sizes ranged from three (Rayner et al, 2016) to 29 (Firth et al, 2008).…”

“…Interactions and social relationship building, between staff and pupils and all the variants of support staff, are key elements of curriculum design and associated pedagogic practice in PMLD schools (Rayner et al, 2016). The teachers in the study stressed that collaboration and co‐working were important ways in which they could make sense of the curriculum demands of teaching such a complex group, a finding that is in line with the research of Munde and Vlaskamp (2015).…”
