It is very interesting that ten students (83%) reported improvement in the statements<br />

‘I find it difficult to cope with different people in different settings’ and ‘I find it<br />

difficult to ask questions when I don’t understand something’ because this reflects a<br />

stronger sense of self and confidence. All students reported that the statement ‘I find<br />

it difficult to work on my own without help’ remained constant or became worse.<br />

This might reflect a new recognition of help, whereas before therapy they might have<br />

been less willing to acknowledge it. Although four students (33%) improved in the<br />

statement ‘I mind when something changes and I wasn’t expecting it’, five students<br />

(42%) did not. The student who recorded the largest increase in difficulties in this<br />

questionnaire was Clare who needed to continue with music therapy (6.1.2 and 8.2).<br />

The responses to the same statements on school (I) from students at CVC are shown<br />

in figure 6.5.2.2<br />
