Strength of evidence
There is established practice and expertise amongst the profession... With low incidence disabilities and presenting such individual differences, it is challenging to find sufficient numbers for large scale research. This MESHGuide values knowledge and practice from BATOD members and others involved in deaf education. Due to the nature of autism with a spectrum of presentations, the challenge is to produce large scale studies as it is difficult to draw together enough subjects. Using MESHGuides to collect together case studies and solutions it is hoped to extend the knowledge base on the topic of autism and deafness.
